Selah, WA – (January 10, 2014 ) Kicking off the New Year, there is a new scrumptious apple bursting with juice and flavor that is arriving in stores. Rainier Fruit Company is making available its exclusive Junami™ brand apple while supplies last in select U.S. markets including the greater Chicago area at Jewel, Mariano's and other stores.
“Junami brand apples’ juiciness, crisp texture and well-balanced taste are really resonating with consumers. Pronounced like Mon Ami- Junami offers the best characteristics of several varieties and combines them into one,” said Suzanne Wolter, Rainier spokesperson. “We expect it to be a major apple brand in the United States in the next few years as production increases to the quantities that consumer are demanding.”
What makes Junami brand apples so good are their special crispiness, fruity character, invigorating flavor and undeniable juiciness that makes them a real thirst quencher. Especially popular with young adults, or those who love delicious, juicy apples that are not overly sweet, Junami brand apples stand out. The flavor is slightly perfumed, with a nice balance of a fresh, tangy taste and crispy bite. It is beautifully round with eye-catching red color.
