Apples, Ashmeads Kernal - 8 x 5 LB - IPM - Local From Maine

If you like an exciting, truly novel eating experience, Ashmead's Kernal is the apple for you. They're an old English winter russet apple, with dry tan russeting over their pale green-yellow skin. They're a dessert apple, with a flavor described as sugary and sharp and champagne-sherbet like. As a dessert apple, they're best eaten fresh or used juiced for cider and beverages. They can be cooked and used in sauces, and they would, in fact, make an excellent mead, though they get their name from the Dr. Ashmead who developed the variety in the 1700s. Between their unusual appearance and their distinctive flavor, Ashmead's Kernal is worth exploring and lingering with.
