SweeTango apple

SweeTango is a unique apple variety developed by the University of Minnesota through the cross-pollination of Honeycrisp and Zestar! apples. Introduced in 2009, it is characterized by its crisp texture, sweet-tart flavor, and early ripening in early September. The apple's name combines 'sweet' and 'tang,' reflecting its balanced taste. SweeTango apples are primarily grown in the United States, particularly in Minnesota, but have also been cultivated in other regions, including Australia and New Zealand. The University of Minnesota retains ownership of the SweeTango brand, ensuring consistent quality and availability. The apples are available seasonally, typically in early fall, and are known for their loud crunch and refreshing flavor.
