Washington State University began cultivating new varieties of apples in 1997, and spent 20 years and 10 million US dollars to finally develop the ComsicCrisp apple. In addition to being super crispy and having a good balance of sweet and sour, as its name suggests, In addition to being more juicy, the biggest selling point of this variety of apples is that they can be kept in the refrigerator for a whole year without going bad, which quite shocks the common sense of ordinary people.

ComsicCrisp is a cross between Enterprise and Honeycrisp apples. It is completely non-genetically modified and has dark black red skin with some small dots, which is the characteristic of this apple variety. Interestingly, farmers in Washington state have exclusive planting rights for 10 years, and farmers in other states in the United States are not allowed to plant it within 10 years.

Finally, there is the issue of price. A box of four Cosmic Crisp Apples costs US$39, which is equivalent to about NT$1,200. It is a sky-high price. It is more suitable as a topical gift box. Friends who are interested in Cosmic Crisp Apple can go to the official website for further information.
