What is breaburn?

Braeburn is a type of apple that is characterized by its bright red and green skin, firm texture, and sweet, slightly tart flavor. It was first discovered in New Zealand in the 1940s and gained popularity in the United States in the 1980s. Braeburn apples are typically harvested in the fall and can be stored for several months. They are often used in baking due to their firm flesh and ability to hold their shape, but are also enjoyed fresh or in salads. Braeburn apples are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
