The term "Japanese apple" often refers to the Fuji apple, a popular variety that originated in Japan in the late 1930s. Known for its crisp texture and sweet flavor, the Fuji apple is a cross between the Red Delicious and Ralls Janet apples. It is widely cultivated in Japan and has gained popularity around the world. Fuji apples are typically large, with a reddish-pink skin and yellow undertones. They are versatile and can be enjoyed fresh, in salads, or used in baking. Their long shelf life makes them a favorite among consumers and retailers alike.
