The new apple variety \u2018Eden<\/a>\u2019<\/strong> has one distinct benefit that we’re really excited about! It has flesh that is very, very white and the flesh holds its colour for 1\u20132 days after cutting; in other words it is non-browning.<\/p>\n

\u2018Eden\u2019 is a dual-purpose dessert\/culinary apple that is the eventual result of a cross between two varieties \u2013 \u2018Linda\u2019 and \u2018Jonamac\u2019. Initially, a breeding programme in Canada sought to evolve a variety with improved scab resistance, it was however a welcome discovery that due to low level of phenols in the flesh of the apple (which has approximately two-fifths of the phenolic compounds found in \u2018Spartan\u2019<\/a><\/strong>), \u2018Eden\u2019 retains its white flesh once cut open, longer than other varieties.<\/p>\n

\u2018Eden\u2019 has characteristics likely to be popular with home gardeners and home cooks alike. The fruit is attractive and is dark red with greenish yellow markings. Its crisp texture and juicy flavour makes it ideal for eating and it can also be cooked without any need to add sugar. The fruits can be picked in October and will store well in to March.<\/p>\n
