Ambrosia

A tier

Ambrosia is a chance seedling from British Columbia—low acid, honey-sweet, crisp, and aromatic with pink-red blush over cream-yellow skin. Canadian marketing pushed it as a dessert apple people who dislike tart fruit will finish happily. Flesh is juicy without aggressive bite or sharp acidic finish on the palate. Pure snacking and kids' markets; gentle salads with mild cheeses work well. Heat softens it toward mild sauce. Bruising needs careful packing in the cold chain. Peak flavour comes from proper maturity, not early green picks rushed to market shelves.
