Organic Fuji Apples, 1 Each
One of the most popular, and diverse, fruits in America is known for being crisp, juicy and full of healthy benefits.
The tree fruit that's as American as, well... apple pie is harvested in the fall, when various varieties grown in the U.S. are at the peak of freshness.
To ensure this nutritional powerhouse maintains its crispness and juicy, sweet quality, it's essential to store apples in a cool, dark place. The produce drawer in your refrigerator is the perfect place for storing apples you plan to eat within a couple of weeks.
Wrap each piece of fruit in parchment or waxed paper to preserve them even longer.
Apples should be washed just prior to eating. To wash, rub apple under running water or scrub with a clean vegetable brush. Pat dry with a clean towel.
The snowy white flesh of an apple turns brown quickly once it's sliced, so toss in a little lemon juice before using in sweet or savory recipes.
No matter how you enjoy them, be sure and rinse apples under a stream of cool water before eating.
Prized for being amazingly versatile in the kitchen, apples play a starring role in down-home pies and elegant tarts, but they also make a fine addition to salads. Try adding a sliced apple to greens with pecans, blue cheese, and your favorite vinaigrette.
