It’s apple season! Here’s a quick fact about apple sizing.
Apples are sized based on the number of apples per box. So, the smaller number on the box means a bigger apple. Sizes range from a huge 48 ct all the way down to a tiny 216 ct, and the differences can often be substantial.
So, if you’re looking for a kid’s snack or something for a box lunch, a smaller apple may be the best choice. But if you want a center of the plate amenity basket-type fruit, go with the larger count size.
A general rule when it comes to selecting varieties, tart apples are great for baking, but sweet apples make great hand fruit.
Which apple variety is your favorite?

Introducing Created Fresh! our line of ready-to-eat prepackaged fresh foods for your on-the-go customer!
Available in two packaging formats, both with quality tamper evident packaging for safety:
🥗 Standard packaging with a 7-day shelf life, and
🥗 MAP* (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) with a 14-day shelf life
What’s the difference?
Our standard products are packaged in high quality clamshells and bags that keep the products safe and fresh and have a 7-day shelf life.
But for operations that need more shelf life, we also carry a MAP packaging line. MAP products are packaged in sealed trays where the oxygen is replaced with other gasses to give it a 14-day shelf life. Not only do they look great on your shelf, but they may also help to reduce waste by giving you a longer shelf life.
No matter which packaging you choose, both are created fresh for your customers.
Contact your sales consultant today about our Created Fresh! line of grab and go offerings now available in our East Coast companies. *Not all items are available in MAP packaging. #peoplepassionproduce #ourfirstnameisfresh
