Episode 15 - The History of Red Rome

Learn more about the history of apple that was a favorite of my daughter when she was little and why they are becoming harder to find.

Today we are talking about one of the most widely grown “heirloom apples”, the Rome, Red Rome, or Rome Beauty apple. Even thought it’s widely grown, it is become harder and harder to find. This apple is being replaced with apples that stay crispy longer.

Have you had a Rome apple before? It makes for a great baking apple. I don’t think that grocery store nowadays are concerned with stocking apples that are good for baking. It’s that crispy, eating apple that is what are most popular.

For those that do love baking with apples, I want you to answer the question below.
