The Fuji Apple is a cross between Ralls and Red Delicious. The Fuji originated in the 1950's in Fujisaki, Japan. It was introduced to South Africa in the early 1990's and has been a favorite of the Japanese and Chinese for many years and now America is loving the taste. The Fuji stays sweeter longer than any other apple. The taste has both sweetness and a hint of
tartness that is unlike any other apple. Fuji apples retain their shape when cooked, but take longer than average to cook tender. 

Apples come in various grades: Extra Fancy, Fancy, and No.1. The top two grades of apples are based on exterior appearance and size.  Apples should be stored at 31 to 32 degrees F at 85-90% relative humidity. Keep them in their boxes as they can absorb odors, and they give off ethylene gas that can hasten ripening in other fruits and vegetables.. Apples come packed in 38-42 # cartons, and 40-45# tray packs with  counts of 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 ,88, 100, 120, 140, 160,  200 or 216 for the smallest.  One medium apple  equals one cup diced apples.
