Apple

Apples, a most common fruit, has so many varieties you could eat one a day for six years and never have the same one twice. Sadly many of these are not commercially available, but it shows that apples can be so different from one another...  Just red apples and green apples? Not at all. Never make the mistake of thinking all apples taste the same! From sweet to tart, from dry to juicy, there is an apple for everyone. The taste and the crunch are not the only reasons to enjoy an apple. Research has shown that apples may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, may help with heart disease and controlling cholesterol. They are a source of fibre, contain the bone-strengthening mineral boron and antioxidants like vitamin C, most of which is stored just under the skin.

It was once traditional to give an apple as a sign of friendship, an apple was a symbol of good luck. Whilst Ripe can't promise you good luck, we can promise you top quality apples from a large selection of different varieties. Which is your favourite apple?
