Red Delicious apples grown in Washington and marketed under the Superfresh Growers® brand, selected and packed in bags with 2.25Lbs for convenient handling and retail presentation. One of America's most recognizable apple varieties, Red Delicious is distinguished by its deep red skin, slightly elongated shape and characteristic lobes at the blossom end. Its predominantly sweet, low-acid profile makes it particularly suitable for fresh consumption.

Origin
Washington, USA.
Red Delicious has a long history in American apple production and is particularly well adapted to Washington's growing conditions. Superfresh Growers® is part of Domex Superfresh Growers, a family organization with generations of experience growing and marketing fruit in Washington State. The 2 1/4" designation refers to apple diameter and is commonly associated with bagged programs, providing smaller, convenient fruit particularly suited for individual consumption.
