Surprisingly fun
Jonagold
The Jonagold apple is the most eaten apple variety in Belgium. Not surprising, as it’s regularly planted in the Sint-Truiden fruit region in Limburg’s Haspengouw. This homegrown apple has a golden-yellow colour with a striking red blush. It’s large and firm, with pale yellow, juicy flesh. If you’re looking for a pleasant sweet-tart flavour, Jonagold is the one!
Smart
tips
Store separately
Apples produce ethylene gas, which can speed up the ripening of other fruits and vegetables. So, store them separately to prevent unwanted ripening.
