Buy Royal Red Delicious Apples

Royal is the original Himachal apple, the century-old variety that made the Himalayas famous and the one every Indian childhood remembers. Expect a gentle, honeyed sweetness with barely any tartness, a thin tender skin, and juicy, crunchy flesh straight off the tree. Grown in pristine orchards at 6,500 to 8,500 ft, hand-picked at peak ripeness, and shipped to you within days of harvest.

Royal Red Delicious Apples

Tasting Notes

No wax means no scrubbing. A quick rinse under running water and your apple is ready, skin and all, which is where much of the goodness lives.

First bite: Gently sweet and generously juicy, the mildest of the Delicious family. No sharpness, no tartness, just clean mountain sweetness.

Then: A soft, old-fashioned apple aroma, and a thin, tender skin that disappears into the bite.

Overall: Mild, juicy, crunchy. The classic Himachal apple, exactly as you remember it.

Grown by Families.
Picked by Hand.

Our Royal apples come from small orchards tended by farming families in the high valleys of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, on land they have cared for over generations. Every apple in your box was picked by hand, at the moment it was ready and not a day before.

High above the plains, where the air is thin and clean and the nights turn sharply cold, the trees push more sugar into the fruit with every degree the temperature drops after sunset.

When you bring home a box of Royal, you support these families directly. This is what an apple tasted like before apples became a commodity.
