AN APPLE THAT IS RED TO THE CORE

I saw the picture of apples that are red through and through in the Internet and immediately looked up information about it.  It seems that Swiss apple grower Markus Kobelt has developed a red-skinned and red-fleshed apple called the Redlove Era.  Mind you, it took him twenty years to get it right after much cross-pollination and grafting.
We are all familiar with the white or yellowish fleshed apples, right?  Well the Redlove Era has a sort of reddish-pink marbled flesh with a bit of white flesh thrown in.  It seems that these apples have a higher antioxidant content and that the flesh will not go brown after being sliced and left out in the open. Also, the Redlove Era is supposedly sweet, tangy and amazingly delicious.

And now, let me list out the amazing qualities the Redlove apple is said to possess:
•Rosy-red flesh with a beautiful pattern running through it.

•Crisp and juicy fruit with a hint of berries. Delicious eaten raw but also ideal for cooking – it retains its red colour!

•Higher in antioxidants than other apples

•Exceptionally high resistance to scab

•Unusual, long-lasting, deep pink spring blossom.
