Leaf Sun Fuji Apple

Apple leaves play an important role in supplying nutrients and sweetness to apples but in general, the leaves around the apples are removed before harvesting so they get exposed to sunlight, giving them the nice red skin.

However, the Leaf Sun Fuji Apples are harvested after they are grown without removing any leaves. Even though the colour of these apples might not be a perfect red, they are more delicious and nutritious as they receive more nutrients from photosynthesis. In addition, the farmer only harvest the apple when it is fully ripe, allowing the apple to have higher sugar content and a nice aroma as compared to other Fuji apples.

The Oyu family has been an apple farming family for 5 generations, and the current owner has been cultivating the apples with great care and dedication, using the cultivation techniques that have been passed down and refined over time. They have been using their unique cultivation methods without any chemical fertilizers since 2000 and are also certified as an eco-farmer. At Oyu Farm, apples are grown and selected by hand instead of machine.
