Washington Fuji / Aztec Fuji

The supply period of Washington Fuji starts in October and ends in April the next year. As the apple takes a long time to reach its best before date, it remains fresh even after several days of storage. After washing it, you can eat it with peels. Known for its delightful sweetness and gentle sourness, Washington Fuji has the best flavor balance, it is also the best-selling apple variety in Taiwan. With its large size and bright red peel with a soft touch of yellow, Washington Fuji is the perfect choice for gifts. Once you store it in the fridge, the apple would taste delightfully sweet and spill a lot of juice, which makes it suitable for baking, making juice, or salad. With its finely crisp texture, this fruit tastes incredible especially when you’re filling up your hunger pangs! What’s more, ELEGANT, a company that provides Washington Fuji, is one of the strictly selected brands collaborating with Weisfruit!

Thanks to its inherently excellent natural environment, New Zealand is able to cultivate pure and delicious fruit products.

Introduced from Japan, New Zealand Fuji is known for its balance of sweetness and sourness as well as strong fruity fragrance. The peel is red and slightly yellowish-green in color.
