Get ready for a juicy revolution: Cosmic Crisp apples are coming to Australia in 2024!
- Replies 14
Attention, fruit lovers! We have a treat for you: Cosmic Crisp apples are set to hit Australian shelves in mid-2024. You might be wondering, what's so special about these apples? Well, keep reading – we're sure you'll be as excited as we are.
A product of over 20 years of research and development by Washington State University, the Cosmic Crisp apple is a scrumptious blend of the beloved Honeycrisp and Enterprise apple varieties.
Its unique taste and texture make it a great snack option for all ages, and here at the Seniors Discount Club, we know how important healthy snacking can be!
After gaining immense popularity in the United States, Red Rich Fruits (RRF), one of Australia's leading fruit suppliers, has acquired the exclusive rights to bring these unique apples Down Under.
RRF has committed 100 hectares of land for growing Cosmic Crisp apples in Victoria's Yarra Valley, Baltow in New South Wales, and Manjimup in Western Australia.
RRF director Matt Palise explained the anticipation surrounding the Cosmic Crisp's arrival in Australia, stating, 'It offers a firm, crisp texture and a delicate balance of juiciness, sweetness, and tartness.'
He continued, 'It really is the ultimate apple – the flavour's out of this world. It's also a very slow-to-brown apple, so there's less wastage if your kids don't eat a whole apple in one go or prefer it cut up.'
With over 20 million Cosmic Crisp apple trees already planted in the US to meet the 'unprecedented' demand for this fruit, RRF plans to replicate Washington State's weather patterns in their chosen growing locations. This will ensure the best possible conditions for producing these high-quality apples.
To guarantee the quality and consistency of the Cosmic Crisp apples reaching Aussie households, they will be packed in a limited number of warehouses while keeping food miles to a minimum.
Despite a decline in apple sales across Australia in recent years, Palise is optimistic that the Cosmic Crisp's unique taste and texture will reinvigorate the market.
'We think the Cosmic Crisp will remind consumers how delicious an apple can be,' he said.
RRF has ambitious plans, with aims to expand Cosmic Crisp supply to markets across the Asia Pacific region following their Australian launch in 2024.
So, is there any truth to the saying, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away?'
According to Palise, 'Absolutely, those sayings exist for a reason. Apples are the world's most portable snack – as a parent, there are not many situations that an apple can't get you out of. They're great to throw into a school bag or to take with you to work. They're full of fibre and delicious to boot.'
We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Cosmic Crisp apples in Australia! Brace yourself to indulge in these delicious and succulent apples starting in 2024. Who knows, they might just become your new go-to fruit, bursting with flavours that will delight your taste buds!
