“We’re super excited to offer an apple that’s fresh and bright, but most importantly, delicious,” says Jill Hughey, Director of Sales. "The packaging offers an eye-catching contrast that really pops on the store shelves, and the eating quality is excellent.”

According to a press release, Lemonade is a cross between a Gala and Braeburn, giving the apple its crunchy effervescence paired with a blushing cheek. It’s the perfect color break in the sea of red currently dominating retail shelves.
