Catherine Gipe-Stewart, Communications Manager, Superfresh Growers®“We are hearing retail success when Honeycrisp and Cosmic Crisp apple are price aligned.

“There is still time to promote Cosmic Crisp this season,” continued Gipe-Stewart. “Superfresh Growers will have volume into summer. The flavor and crunchy bite of Cosmic Crisp stays fresh all season long. This is an amazing summer apple, great for grilling, adding to burgers, lemonades, and summer fruit platters. Since Cosmic Crisp doesn’t brown, having slices on a plate look fresh all afternoon.”

Buyers, make sure that you don’t miss out on this category opportunity!
