National Opal Apples Day

National Opal Apples Day celebrates the Opal apple, a bright yellow variety known for its crisp texture, sweet-tangy flavor, and natural resistance to browning. This distinctive apple is a cross between Golden Delicious and Topaz varieties and was discovered in Europe in 1999. Its non-browning quality makes it especially convenient for sliced snacks and salads.

The holiday began in 2022 and was created by FirstFruits Farms. The company has also connected Opal apples with the Youth Make a Difference initiative, which supports young leaders working on food security and sustainable farming issues, as described in a report on FirstFruits Farms’ celebration.
