FAQs about Roxbury Russet apples
Yes. Although thicker and coarser than other apple varieties, you can still eat the skin. You should wash your Roxbury Russet apple first before eating. An apple eaten with the skin has 50% more phytonutrients than the flesh alone. Apple skins are good sources of antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients linked to many health benefits, including reducing the risk of certain types of cancers in the body.
Yes. Like any fruit grown outdoors, apples get exposed to the elements where dirt and debris can collect. Also, apples produce a natural wax-like coating to prevent moisture loss and protect the apple from insects. This natural coating has a milky-white color, giving the apple a dull appearance, but it's harmless if ingested. A simple rub with a clean cloth will remove this coating and restore a natural shine to your apple.
Some farmers add a synthetic coat of wax designed to protect the apples from damage during shipping and storage. These secondary coats usually consist of natural components derived from plants. Some waxes are synthetic polymers or petroleum-based and developed in labs. A gentle scrub in cool water should remove the wax.
