Heirloom Sansa apples are a delightful variety known for their crisp texture and sweet-tart flavor. Their skin is a vibrant blend of red and yellow, often with a subtle blush, making them visually appealing. These apples are prized for their juiciness, making them perfect for fresh eating or adding a refreshing crunch to salads. Originating from Japan and New Zealand, they are a cross between the Gala and Akane varieties. Heirloom Sansa apples have a balanced sweetness with a hint of berry-like undertones, offering a unique taste experience.
