Crab Apple
Estimated Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
Crab apples are distinguished by their less-than-golf ball size and their tart, bitter flesh. Coloring varies depending on variety but expect variances of red, ruby, pink and gold with apple stems as long as the length of the fruit itself. The two general attributes all Crab apple varieties share is their petite ornamental size and their high acid content. Crab apples' flesh is ivory to creamy, semi-starchy and considered inedible raw. Dark seeds fill the Crab apple core, leaving very little flesh available for culinary use.
Seasons/Availability
Crab apples are available during the fall months.
