| English Apples |
English apples are now in season from July Fresh English apples, fantastic food! One a day to keep the doctor away! Instant energy!
We have over one thousand varieties of apple in the UK but only 15 are grown commercially. Most, like the delicious Cox's Orange Pippin, have been de-listed by supermarkets and as a result most of the trees have been destroyed by growers.
Different varieties of apple are ripening on their trees between now and October. Bramley and Discovery are now in season and should be available to us all. Most fruit and veg is most nutritious and tasty when it is fresh and ripe. Far too much of what we eat has been picked early to satisfy the needs of distribution and shelf life.
