Cosmic Crisp: Apples That Can Last a Year to Go on Sale in the US
But only in the refrigerator.
A new apple variety, Cosmic Crisp, which took two decades to develop, will soon go on sale in the US. This is reported by BBC.
The people who worked on the variety claim that these apples can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a year without spoiling.
Cosmic Crisp was first grown by Washington State University in 1997.
“This is an ultra-crisp, relatively firm apple with a good balance of sweet and tart, and it is very juicy,” — said Kate Evans, who headed the apple-growing program at the university.
According to her, the flesh of the fruit slowly turns brown, and the fruit itself “retains excellent quality when stored in the refrigerator for 10-12 months.”
More than 12 million Cosmic Crisp trees have been planted so far, and a strict licensing system prevents farmers from growing the apples in other parts of the country.
