Braeburn
Versatile + Bold.
A lively balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Description
Originating in New Zealand in the 1950s, Braeburn apples are prized for their perfect balance of tart and sweet. Michigan-grown Braeburns offer a rich, spicy flavor with a firm, crisp bite.
Ideal for pies and baking, Braeburn apples are also excellent for fresh eating. Their versatility makes them great in both sweet and savory dishes—and a perfect addition to your kid’s lunchbox.
Braeburn is also a parent variety to newer apples like Kanzi®, continuing its legacy in orchards and markets.
