“The appearance of the humble apple pie is about to be transformed after the world’s first red-fleshed apple went on sale in Britain. Like many other apples, the new Redlove variety has a bright red skin on the outside but is unique as it has the same color running right through to the core. The rosy-red hue maintains its striking color while being eaten and even after being cooked and pressed. This means the contents of a traditional apple pie will now take on more of a pinky-red look while a pint of cider will resemble a glass of Ribena. The new fruit is not only said to be extremely tasty – it has a ‘berry nuance’ – it is even healthier than your average apple as its colorful flesh is richer in antioxidants. A grower has spent the last 20 years painstakingly breeding the new fruit. He has used natural cross-pollination techniques involving an number of ‘parent’ trees before finally coming up with the Redlove variety.” w/ photos. LINK
