My new most favorite apple, found at Aldi. It’s advertised as “sweet & spicy with a hint of vanilla.” I compare it to a Gala, but sweeter and fresher tasting. It’s really juicy and has a great crunch! Perfect for apple desserts, eaten plain, or with nut/seed butters, cheeses or dessert hummus. From specialtyproduce.com, “SnapDragon apples, botanically classified as Malus domestica, are a relatively new, sweet apple variety belonging to the Rosaceae family. The crisp fruit was developed by Cornell University’s apple breeding program, one of the oldest programs in the United States, and the apple was created to exhibit improved storage qualities, flavor, and disease resistance. SnapDragon apples were bred from the popular honeycrisp apple and are favored by consumers for their sweet, crisp, and juicy flesh.” One medium sized apple (154g net wt) has 80 calories from 22g of carbs (5g of fiber), 0g fat and 0g protein. This is the only apple I buy now! Day 70/90 #veganisnotscary #fruit #apple #energy #newyork #glutenfree #glutenfreevee
