Our first apples of the season, Lodi apples are prized for their crisp texture, juicy flesh, and pleasantly tart flavor. With their bright yellow-green skin and refreshing taste, Lodi apples are excellent for both fresh eating and cooking.
Often considered one of the best early-season cooking apples, Lodi apples soften quickly when cooked, making them ideal for homemade applesauce, apple butter, pies, and baked desserts. Their tart flavor also makes them a refreshing snack straight from the orchard.
