Granny Smith

The OG Green
Crisp, tart, and refreshingly juicy – these apples bring a classic taste straight from the orchard.

Description

A true classic, the Granny Smith apple stands out with its vibrant green skin, firm texture, and signature tart flavor. The Granny Smith was discovered in the mid-1800s by Maria Ann “Granny” Smith in New South Wales, Australia. 

Legend has it she found the first seedling growing from discarded French crab apple cores near her home. Recognizing its unique qualities, she cultivated the variety — and it quickly gained worldwide popularity. Today, Granny Smith apples are grown in orchards worldwide, celebrated for their dependable flavor, excellent shelf life, and unmistakable tartness.
