Kinnaur Apples
Overview
Kinnaur Apples, grown in the pristine high-altitude orchards of Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district, are celebrated for their exceptional quality, natural sweetness, and long shelf life. Cultivated at altitudes ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 feet, these apples benefit from the region's cool climate, clean Himalayan air, and glacial water irrigation, which contribute to their superior texture, colour, and nutritional value.
Characterized by a firm, crisp bite and a bright red blush over a yellowish base, Kinnaur apples have a balanced sugar-acid ratio that delivers a refreshingly sweet and mildly tangy flavour. Their dense flesh and rich juice content make them ideal for both fresh consumption and juicing. Naturally ripened on the tree and free from artificial colouring or wax coatings, Kinnaur apples are not only a gourmet delight but also a symbol of purity and quality. Their extended post-harvest freshness and resistance to bruising positions Kinnaur Apples as a premium offering in global fresh fruit markets.
