The Himalayas.

At 9,000–12,000 feet, the climate pushes them to grow sweeter, crisper, and more flavourful and crisp than other apples because they get more time to naturally and slowly ripe. This also gives them a naturally longer shelf life and thick skin. They’re rich in vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants, pure nutrition wrapped in mountain freshness. They’re grown using traditional farming methods. 

The main difference is in the color. Royal Delicious apples are a uniform deep red, while Red Delicious often has a red skin with greenish hues. Both are crunchy, juicy, and sweet, but Red Delicious leans more towards the sweeter, juicier side. Royal Delicious, on the other hand, has a slightly balanced flavor.

Your apples are packed and shipped within 24 hours of being freshly harvested. Once on the way, they usually reach your doorstep in about 4-8 days, depending on where you are. If there’s heavy rain or the festive season rush, it might take a day or two extra but we’ll make sure they get to you as fresh as possible.

Each box will have 25–35 apples, depending on their size.
The smaller the apples, the more you’ll get in the box, and vice versa.

Yes, we do! In fact we’ve shipped apples to every State & UT in past 4 years.

Keeping them in fridge will increase their shelf life and slow the ripening process. If you’d like them to taste more sweet, keep them at room temperature. Would recommend to consume them within a month.

At Phal Phool, we put a lot of love into making sure you get only the best quality apples. Since apples are perishable, we’re unable to accept returns.
