Kanzi
Last year I heard a documentary on the radio about the development of a new apple race which takes 10 years. Now the new apple was ready for commercialisation. It was a very interesting but by the time I was in the supermarket, I didn't think about the new apple anymore.
A couple of weeks ago I heard in the media all about the launch of a new apple race again. Hmm a relaunch because the Kanzi did already exist last year. But now it's really launched on a bigger scale commercially supported with the necessary media attention in Belgium and the Netherlands.
I am very picky when it comes to apples. Regular readers already know I am not very much into sweets so any sweet apples are lost on me. Apples also need to be firm and last a bit in my fruit basket without getting soft, mushy and wrinkled. My instructions to Jan when he goes shopping are always very clear: I need Granny Smith apples. Not a very "green" choice as they are usually imported from a far away country, but I every time I had risked buying a local apple I had regretted it and the last ones of the bunch got often thrown away.
So when I saw the Kanzi in the stores ....I took the risk. And I love them. They have a flirting red blush, are a bit sour and are very very firm. And they are locally grown in the Netherlands and Belgium (and Germany and Italy and Switserland). Excellent, it's a red Belgian Granny Smith!! This is what I had been searching for all along.
