The reason why Aifei apples are so expensive is that they are an excellent apple variety bred from the cross-breeding of Royal Gala and Braeburn. Aifei apples are sweeter, have lower acidity and are crisper than domestic apples. They are tender and juicy, more durable for storage, and less prone to oxidation. Domestic apples will oxidize soon after being exposed to the air after being cut, but Aifei apples will not.
Aifei apple is easy to bloom, has strong continuous fruiting ability and has high yield. The large fruit is nearly round, with a length of 75 to 95 mm, and a single fruit weighing 250 to 300 grams. It has red or dark red stripes. The flesh is fine, hard, crisp, sweet and sour, and juicy. The soluble solid content reaches more than 18%.
Aifei has an attractive red peel fruit flavor with good juice content and aroma. When you take a bite of an Aifei apple, first of all, your taste buds will feel its unique sweetness, and secondly, you will smell a rich aroma. This aroma is emitted by its crisp and sweet fruits. Without this sweet fruit, this aroma would not exist.
Aifei apple is a patented variety, and the quality control is also very strict. Any country or region that wants to grow it needs to be certified by ENZA and the Royal Botanical and Food Research Institute of New Zealand. The Aifei apples we can buy now are imported apples from New Zealand, Washington State in the United States and Chile.
