About Organic Fiesta Apples
Fiesta is a modern (1970s) English variety from the East Malling Research Station in Kent, sometimes known as Red Pippin. Like many modern apples one of the parents is the classic English Cox's Orange Pippin..
Fiesta is a medium-sized apple, with the characteristic flecked red and orange flush over yellow - a very attractive autumnal colouring. It is crisper than Cox, and in some ways a more accessible easier-eating apple than its parent. It is also quite juicy and is a very good variety for making your own apple juice from.
Apples are excellent sources of dietary fibre and are particularly high in pectin (a soluble dietary fibre). Pectin is used as a gelling agent and stabiliser but is also of use nutritionally. The soluble fibre slows glucose absorption and has been proven to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Follow this link for more information on apples.
