Aerlie Red Flesh...Ashmead's Kernel...Akane...Almata...Arkansas Black Starkspur . You may not recognize the names, but you're familiar enough with the family--they're all apples.
All by themselves, apples offer a quick, convenient, carry-it-with-you-anytime snack that's loaded with vitamins and flavor. Nothing else quite compares to the crisp snap of a bite into a juicy, ripe apple, and more than 60% of the time, raw and unadulterated is how Americans enjoy them. But if raw is the only way you enjoy apples, it's time to take a step back and think outside the apple crate. There are hundreds of different varieties, in all different shapes, sizes, colors, flavors, and textures--and, just so you're clear on the exponential possibilities here, there are also hundreds of ways to prepare them. Add to that the unique culinary enhancement that Frontier herbs and spices can bring to apples' fresh natural flavors, and it's clear that this versatile fruit deserves a lot more consideration...and exploration!
With all these varieties and preparation possibilities, how can you get the right apple into the right recipe? Help is just a click away at our Recommended Apple Guide.
