Addressing the media about the different varieties of Washington Apples, Ms. Rebecca Baerveldt-Lyons from the Washington Apple Commission said, “There are around 7,500 varieties of apple grown around the world today. Among these the best are planted in the commercial orchards of Washington State. Some of the popular variants of Washington Apples are available in India such as the juicy Red Delicious, mildly sweet Golden Delicious and green and juicy Granny Smith. Owing to growing globalization and awareness among Indians, the demand for delicious Washington Apples has been on the rise. Therefore, we are pleased to promote new varieties in the market which will eventually reach retail shelves and offer more choice to consumers.”
