(NAFB) Since its introduction five years ago, the Washington-grown Cosmic Crisp apple has proven itself to be the next big variety, as its popularity continues to grow. Michael Schadler, president of the Washington Apple Commission, says its volume has been fairly steady since it first hit the market.
Schadler hopes they can also help Cosmic Crisp on the international side as it continues to increase in volume.
The Cosmic Crisp is a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise apples, featuring a similar crispness but a more balanced sweetness and tartness, along with excellent storage qualities.
