Have you heard the news? Opal Apples are now at Nugget Markets! A cross between the Topaz and Golden Delicious varieties, Opal Apples are bright yellow and have a sweet, tangy flavor.
This unique variety of apple is resistant to oxidizing, which means they don’t turn brown quickly after being cut! This makes them a great choice for slicing up for snacks or lunchboxes, or on top of salads. Opal Apples’ crunchy texture also holds up well in baking and other recipes.
These all-natural, non-GMO fruits were discovered in Europe in 1999. In 2010, Opal Apples were brought to the USA and are now grown in Washington by Broetje Orchards. What makes these apples extra sweet is that a portion of their sales supports nonprofits through Youth Make a Difference Initiative grants.
