Washington Apples - No other Apple comes so close

Washington Apples are known worldwide for their wonderful

taste & crispness . Few days back the company called out for

a media & food bloggers meet at The Oberoi for an exclusive

display and tasting session of the seven varieties of the

Washington Apples for the first time in India with

Ms Rebecca Baerveldt Lyons from the Washington

Apples Commission.

The date of the event coincided with my daughter's annual

function coz of which I was unable to make it ,but the Washington

Apple Commission India office was kind enough to send me

all the information on the varieties & usage along with a

gift box of the samples .

The colorful varieties of apples set my creative juices a fire ... the crisp

& juicy divinities were perfect to be relished as snack or turn

into a cool summer salad . Their mellow flavors & juicy inner flesh

could not resist me from some healthy baking too ......
