Apples<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do you know that every fourth apple on European tables comes from our country?<\/p>\n

Poland is the largest producer of apples in the European Union<\/strong> and the third largest in the world, after China and the USA. The share of Poland in the global production of apples is 5%, and 27% in the EU.<\/p>\n

Apples are also our favourite fruit: an average Pole eats 12-14 kg of them annually.<\/p>\n

About 40% of Polish apples come from orchards near Gr\u00f3jec, in the central part of Poland (a large area south of Warsaw). The fruit-growing traditions there are over 500 years old, mainly due to the unique soil and climatic conditions, which makes these apples 5% more red and acidic than the same varieties from other regions.<\/p>\n

Currently, the brand “Gr\u00f3jeckie apples” includes 27 varieties of apples, incl. Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Szampion, Red Jonaprince, Mutsu, Gala, Gloster and Lobo.<\/p>\n
