FAQs about Kiku apples
According to reviews from testers, the Kiku apple bears similarity to the Honeycrisp and the Fuji. Kikus are sweet, but not too sweet, and just tart enough with hints of fruity grape-like aromatics. Its texture and juiciness compare with its cousin, the Fuji apple. However, where the Fuji has a slightly sour taste, the Kiku does not. This makes the sweetness of the Kiku more pronounced and is why many tasters compared it with a Honeycrisp.
The Kiku tastes the absolute best as a snacking apple. Its crisp and juicy interior, the snap of the skin, and the sweet flavor are a pleasure on their own. Try it with cheese slices or peanut butter to increase the protein of this snack apple. Sharp cheddar is a great cheese choice for this snack. The sharpness of the cheese with the sweetness of the apple is a delightful pairing.
To incorporate these beautiful apples into a meal, consider tossing them into an acidic fruit salad. The acidic juices will preserve the beautiful white flesh, and you can leave the striped skin on to showcase its ruby color. Similarly, thinly sliced into wedges or rounds, these apples would beautify a spring salad and complement spring greens with their bright, sweet flavor. They also make a gorgeous candied apple.
When you find these apples in the store, they may be more expensive than other apple varieties. This is because the Kiku brand apple has a very restricted list of distributors. The lower supply paired with the higher demand for the unique flavor of the Kiku variety drives the price up in some supermarkets. Remember that buying fruit within its growing season can help lower your spending on produce. If you're in the U.S., buying these apples as they come off the trees in the fall will be less expensive than buying them after we have imported them from Chile.
