Fruit
Fuji
Flavor Profile Fresh and sophisticated flavor, sweet with a slight spiciness and hints of savory earthy character; juicy and aromatic.
There is an inherent spicy-savory flavor to the Fuji apple that makes it an all-around favorite for both fresh and cooked uses. It is perhaps natural that this apple, with its Japanese heritage, would pair well with Asian flavors such as cilantro, chili pepper, rice vinegar, and sesame.
This wine-friendly apple is a good choice for recipes served as an appetizer or main course accompanied by wine. It pairs particularly well with Riesling, Chianti, Merlot, and Pinot Noir wines.
