Malus domestica
‘Envy‘ is a large apple hybrid between Braeburn and Royal Gala, developed in New Zealand.
It has a rich red colour with a crisp, juicy and very sweet flavour.
The white dense flesh is resistant to browning when cut. This makes the apple great for salads and cheese platters or for dessert..
In my small corner in Ontario, this apple is sold in Zehrs Supermarket. It’s quite affordable and sweet…yes very sweet. If you’ve never tried it, time to take a stroll at Zehrs and try envy. It’s one of my most favourite apples.
Main use: this apple is great for salads, cheese platters and desserts, but is also great for snacking!
Availability: Harvested late March to early April, in New Zealand.
You have to try this apple if you have never done so!
