Ambrosia

Mellow-sweet, Nature’s Treat.
Naturally low in acidity, Kiku® apples are a top choice for kids and grandparents alike—an all-around delight for the senses.

Description

Mellow-sweet and refreshingly crisp, the Ambrosia apple is truly one of nature’s finest treats. Aptly named after the mythical “food of the gods,” this beautiful apple—discovered as a chance seedling in British Columbia—is a delight for all the senses.

Its tender, juicy flesh has a fine, crisp texture and a honeyed flavor that lingers with every bite. Naturally low in acidity, Ambrosia apples are slow to brown and easy to digest, making them a favorite among kids and grandparents alike.

While its parentage remains a mystery, many believe Golden Delicious and Jonagold may be part of its lineage.
