Origin - Developed by the same apple breeders at the University of Minnesota who released the popular HoneycrispTM. SweeTango has quite the "family tree" and is a cross between two very popular apples - Honeycrisp (mom) and Zestar!TM (dad) - yet it delivers its own unique flavor and tasting experience.
Flavor - Juicy and sweet with hints of fall spices, SweeTango's flavor, balanced by vibrant acidity, dances to a long and satisfying finish on the palate. It also features the satisfying "crunch" of a Honeycrisp.
Appearance - SweeTango is a blush apple with deep red coloration over a yellow breaking background.
Availability - SweeTango will hit the shelves, in limited volumes, at select retailers beginning in fall of 2009. SweeTango is an early-season apple, harvested in late August and early September.
*SweeTango is a registered trademark of the University of Minnesota for fruit of the Minneiska cultivar.
