The Newest Apple

No this isn't about Apple Computers (or phones or pods or pads). Slashfood writes The Newest Apple: Red to the Core "It may look like a tomato, but the new Redlove Era is all apple -- and has red flesh beneath the skin, all the way to the core. Talk about true blue -- er, red.

The Redlove, marketed by Suttons of Britain, has yet to make it into supermarkets, but according to the London Times, those who've tasted it are giving it raves. 'Berry nuances,' they're saying. 'Sweet and tangy.' 'Ideal for cooking.' Not only that, but the apple may even be healthier than its paler counterparts -- that red tint is due to the presence of flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties. And get this: Apparently the flesh won't go brown, making the apple a dream for salads and other raw dishes."
