Everything is coming up roses - including these KORU® Apples from Starr Ranch® Growers! These apples are a true gift from nature, as this extraordinary new variety came about when an apple was discarded in a rose garden! Can you imagine? The seedling that sprouted there grew a brand new apple varietal that’s as unique as the rose - introducing the KORU®!

This incredible, delicious KORU® is sweet and complex, yet has a subtle tartness and offers notes of honey, orange juice, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It is a little juicy, too! So much flavor is packed into this beautiful fruit. And, if you really take the moment to appreciate the artistry of this fruit you’ll see it’s like a work of art - with an orangey-red color over a yellow base. A masterpiece of an apple!

Plus, the KORU® is a great addition to many different kinds of recipes! KORU® apples keep their shape when baked, making them fantastic for pies. And, unlike most other apples, the KORU® is slow to brown once cut, so they are ideal for salads, charcuterie boards, or simply as the perfect healthy snack.
And here’s a TIP: you can keep KORU apples up to four months in the refrigerator – talk about a smart purchase, and such a healthy one, too! My friends at Starr Ranch® Growers brought this gift from nature to market, and it's hitting the stores now. They’re in season from OCT - MAR and May - July. And Starr Ranch® Growers is made up of a family of farmers from the Pacific Northwest, primarily in Washington state, which is home for these apples and so many other varieties that are so popular - the JUICI, Gala, Honeycrisp and more.

So, the next time you’re at the grocery store, take a moment to look for the KORU® and taste how this special apple is truly unique, delicious, and to me, just as beautiful as the rose itself!

  1. I can taste it in my imagination but I know it doesn’t do it justice! I’m SO wanting to find these to gobble up!

  2. Every thing I’ve read and heard about these apples makes me extremely hungry for them, I love apples and these apples look and sound so delicious, I hope I win so I can get my teeth in them and share these wonderful apples with family and friends.

  3. This Apple is really the Apple of my Eye! Who could ask for anything more from apple this one is a winner in my book!

  4. I especially love the fact that they keep well in the refrigerator up to 4 months. That way I can always have them on hand and available when I want a snack or make a dessert at the last minute…..

  5. I can almost taste it in my mind by the way you described them. They sounds truly delicious! And being able to put some back for later (up to 4 months) makes these such a smart buy!

  6. I have always want to go and eat a real off the tree apple! I live in Fla. so I just gave up on buying any, never a good one….. 62 years old:(
