Kinnaur · Himachal Pradesh · 2026 Harvest
Shade-Grown Kinnaur Apples
Red is not ripeness. It is sunlight. The apples on the outside of the tree catch the sun all day and colour evenly, right across the skin. The ones growing inside, under the leaves, get the same cold nights and the same sap from the same roots — but the light reaches them in patches. So they come out red in stripes, lighter on one side, sometimes with a green-gold shoulder. Same tree. Same picking day. Same sweetness. They just didn’t tan evenly.

The same tree, two sides
Standard size — not a mini box
Outer branchesfull sun · even deep red
vs
Inner branchesdappled light · striped
Same size, same firmness, same sweetness. Still red — just striped and uneven, lighter on one side, sometimes with a green-gold shoulder. Every apple looks a little different, the way fruit off a tree actually does.
These are not secondsNothing bruised, scarred, soft or rejected. Damaged fruit never goes into any box we send. These went through the same hands, the same sorting and the same standard as our full-price Red Royal — they were separated for colour alone.

Why Small
What Makes These Special
Same tree, same day
Not a different orchard or a lesser grade. These come off the same Kinnaur trees at 9,000–12,000 ft, picked the same morning as our Red Royal.
Why they cost less
Because people buy apples with their eyes. We cannot sell an unevenly coloured apple at full price in the mandi — so the discount comes to you instead of being lost.
The sugar is inside
Colour is made in the skin by sunlight, and these got it unevenly. Sweetness is made by the leaves and the cold nights, and of that they got exactly the same share.
Only what the tree gave
Every tree grows a few of these on its shaded branches. There is no second crop — when the inner branches are picked, that is all there is.
