Buy Cosmic Crisp Apples!! Cosmic Crisps have landed. Hailed as the first apple to be developed in the state of Washington and backed by a massive marketing rollout, the new apples are arriving in grocery stores, ready for lunchboxes and dining room tables. The apple, a hefty, tasty cross between Enterprise and Honeycrisp varieties, is a product of the Washington State University Tree Fruit program. Horticulturist Bruce Barritt first made the cross between the two in 1997, giving the world WA 38, now known by the brand name Cosmic Crisp. Two decades later, the apple is ready for consumers. The university holds the patent on the variety and has hired Yakima-based Proprietary Variety Management to bring the fruit to market and manage a $10 million marketing budget. The apples, which will be grown exclusively in the state for at least 10 years, first went on sale in stores Dec. 1. The Cosmic Crisp, Washington's long-awaited apple, lands in stores
Washington St has their act together, recently made a major breakthrough in Citrus on our current plague killing the industry. That being said too many carbs don’t eat them anymore...
Honeycrisp right now is our go-to. Kanzis are pretty darn good, too. Looking forward to trying a Cosmic Crisp when they become affordable.
