Zestar!® Apples

The Zestar!® apple is one of the first apples of the season, loved for its crisp texture, bright flavor, and lively sweetness. Developed by the University of Minnesota, Zestar!® combines the satisfying crunch of a late-season apple with the refreshing juiciness of summer’s end. This early ripening variety is perfect for snacking, baking, and salads, offering a sweet-tart flavor that pairs beautifully with cheese or caramel. Its firm flesh holds up well in the kitchen and keeps better than most early apples, making it a favorite among early harvest fans. Flavor & Texture: Crisp, sweet-tart, and juicy with a snappy crunch.Best For: Fresh eating, baking, and salads.Color: Red-striped over golden yellow.Availability: August.
