Keelings, the 100% Irish-family owned company and experts in fresh produce, is happy to announce the availability of Irish eating apples across Tesco stores nationwide.
Did you know:
- Only 5% of all apples eaten in Ireland are Irish
- Keelings have been growing Irish Apples since 1940
- On average, an Irish person will eat 126 apples a year!
- The Keelings Irish Apple season starts in October each year
- Keelings Irish Apples are grown locally on the Keelings farm in North Co. Dublin
According to Keelings nutritionist, Aveen Bannon, apples are an important food to have in the diet. One medium-sized apple contains 13-16% of our daily fibre needs, 8-10% of our daily Vitamin C and can help lower cholesterol!
Keelings Irish Apple orchards are nurtured all year round to ensure the best tasting quality fruit. The apple trees are pruned in spring to enhance air and light penetration through the crop before flowering in May. The apples are then ready to be picked when their colour deepens or if they come freely from the tree when given a gentle twist. The result is crisp and juicy apples for you to enjoy. Buying Keelings Irish Apples means supporting Irish business and reducing our carbon footprint
