What Makes Washington Apples so Delicious?
Washington Apples are unique from all others for a few reasons:
- The plentiful, cool mountain water that irrigates them
- The fresh mountain air in which they grow
- The rich, lava-ash soil they live in
- The plentiful Eastern Washington sunshine that feeds them
Because they grow in such a fresh, clean environment, the apples also suffer from a lot fewer disease and insect problems.
