Royal Delicious Apples - Himalayan Sweetness at 6,150 ft 🍎❄️
Straight from the crisp Himalayan air, our Royal Delicious Apples are grown in a certified organic orchard perched over 6,150 ft in the Shimla district. With their iconic deep red blush, fine-grained flesh, and naturally sweet aroma, these apples are a true royal treat from the mountains.
The Himalayan Story
Our farmer’s orchard in Shimla thrives where cool mountain breezes meet pure glacier-fed water. The high-altitude sunshine by day and cold nights by season naturally slow the ripening process, allowing sugars and aromas to develop fully. This means more sweetness, a deeper flavor, and that signature crunch you can only get from apples grown above 6,000 ft.
The Royal Delicious variety has been a beloved apple in India for generations - first introduced to Himachal’s slopes by British horticulturists in the early 20th century, it soon became a symbol of quality and prestige. Today, grown organically without synthetic chemicals, it tastes just like it did a century ago - pure, crisp, and full of character.
