Of course, different apple varieties also differ slightly in their nutritional benefits, and among those currently most popular on the market, none beats the Red Fuji. So do you know which three apples are the world's three most famous? Let's find out together.

The World's Three Famous Apples

The so-called three famous apples of the world are China's Huaniu, America's Red Delicious and Japan's Fuji.

1. China's Huaniu

Huaniu apples are mainly produced in Tianshui County in the southeastern part of Gansu Province, where unique regional advantages and unique climate resource advantages have nurtured the distinctive Huaniu apple. Tianshui is located in a high-altitude area, with many mountains and few plains, and most orchards are on mountain land, with features such as deep soil layers, ample sunlight, moderate rainfall and four distinct seasons, which are very conducive to normal fruit growth and coloring; stable temperatures during and after the flowering period are conducive to fruit setting; and the large temperature difference between day and night during the fruit ripening period is very conducive to the accumulation of sugars in the fruit, meeting the requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture's advantageous apple regional layout plan and ecological indicators.

In addition, with the adoption of advanced and practical cultivation techniques, the Huaniu apples produced are well-shaped, large, brightly colored and delicious, and the Huaniu apple market season coincides with China's major festivals, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, giving it an obvious advantage in market competition.

2. America's Red Delicious

The American Red Delicious is mainly produced in California in the United States, also known as Red Chief, and is one of the world's main cultivated varieties. Wenatchee in Washington State in the western United States is the most suitable cultivation area for the Red Delicious, with a warm spring and an average temperature of about 15 degrees during the flowering period, which is conducive to fertilization and fruit setting. And ample water conditions are conducive to reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases.

In fact, the American Red Delicious and China's Huaniu are rather similar, but the American Red Delicious is a little brighter red in color, very sweet in taste and also very rich in juice. In addition, Shanxi and Shaanxi in China and the loess plateau above the Qinling Mountains have climatic conditions similar to those of Washington State in the United States, and this is also a high-quality production area for Red Delicious in our country.

3. Japan's Fuji

The Fuji apple can be said to be one of the apple types Chinese people eat most often. It is known for its crisp, sweet taste and bright red appearance, and is deeply loved by Chinese people. Although Red Fuji is highly sought after in China, many people do not know that it actually comes from Japan. The Fuji apple is an excellent apple variety bred by the Morioka Branch of the Fruit Tree Experiment Station of Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1939 by crossing China's Ralls Janet as the female parent and Red Delicious as the male parent, and selected after more than 20 years. It has the advantages of being late-maturing, high-quality, delicious and storable, and is the world's most famous late-maturing apple variety.

Although the Fuji fruit has advantages such as good flavor, late maturity and storability, it also has the shortcoming of poor fruit coloring. For this reason, many good-coloring Fuji bud sports were selected from Fuji in various parts of Japan, collectively called Red Fuji. And the history of growing Fuji apples in our country dates back to 1966.
