Online Webinar: An Apple A Day…
How non-browning apples are helping people eat more fruit
September 25 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
(11:00AM in Saskatchewan | 10:00AM Pacific | 1:00PM EST)
Innovations in science are offering opportunities to eat healthier and reduce food waste. Did you know that about 40% of the annual harvest of apples finds its way into wastebaskets? Artic apples are nonbrowning. Through bioengineering, the apples’ own genes have ‘turned off’ the enzyme that makes apples brown when cut and allows them to stay orchard-fresh for up to 28 days.
Find out how Arctic apples are grown, how they are helping to reduce food waste and providing healthy options in foodservice applications. And pick up some great ideas for how to use apples creatively!
