Catskills Seasonality
Late August – Early November
A Catskills Apple a Day…Fun Facts!
- 1 apple has 5 grams of dietary fiber (always eat the peel, which has two-thirds of the apple’s fiber!)
- An amazing 2,500 apple varieties are grown in America, but only the crabapple is native to North America.
- It takes the energy from 50 leaves to produce a single apple.
Apple Storage Tips
- Apples should be stored in the refrigerator and are best if used within two weeks.
- Want an unripe apple to hurry up and get ready for eating? Leave it at room temperature, and it will ripen 6-10x faster than in the fridge.
