Grāpple® - It looks like an Apple... it tastes like a grape.


I went grocery shopping today and as I often do I look for new apple varieties. This store carried something that I just had to try: the Grāpple®. The one I bought was an Extra Fancy Fuji Apple, flavoured with Concord Grape.



These are interesting, as soon as I opened the package I could smell that wonderful grape scent. I found the smell to be more significantly grapey then the actual flavour. They said that the Royal Gala and Fuji apples were used because they take on the flavour better then other apples, but I found the apple itself was powerfully flavourful, rather then the added grape. But it was definitely different, and I enjoyed it.

Though a few other people tried it and said they could really taste the grape. I think Fuji apples really compliment the added grape.

The Food Network's "Unwrapped" had a show entitled "Grapeful" showing how the Grāpple® is made, the companies website has a short clip from the show where you can watch the process in action.
