AGRICULTURAL NEWS - The company’s website reported that this first harvest would be packaged as slices instead of whole fruit, as company research had found that children preferred to eat pre-sliced apples.
Arctic apples reportedly also tasted better than apples treated with conventional non-browning treatments, and OSF said the variety was as nutritious as other varietals.
Okanagan said it had taken 20 years to develop the variety and to get the necessary legal approvals to grow and distribute it for human consumption.
