The Story of SweeTango

 

 

Scotian Gold Apples

Sweetango Apple

AN APPLE A DAY: 

One day, the breeders at the University of Minnesota wondered…

“What would happen if we introduced a Honeycrisp apple and a Zestar apple?”

With that, the Sweetango was born. An early season apple with a satisfying crunch and a juicy blast of sweet, tart flavour. This apple is grown in the Annapolis Valley and works great in salads and for baking.

NOVA SCOTIA APPLE VARIETIES:

Scotian Gold Cooperative produces over 20 varieties of apples are produced including Honeycrisp and two new varieties, SweeTango™ (a cross between Honeycrisp and Zestar apples) and Sonya™ (a cross between Gala and Red Delicious).
