Arkansas Black (Kiyokawa) apples feature dark burgundy to nearly black skin and firm, juicy flesh that evolves in flavor as the fruit ripens or is stored. Initially tart and dense, the taste smooths into a rich sweetness with hints of honey, caramel, and cinnamon-like spice. The texture is crisp and satisfying, making this variety ideal for fresh eating or long storage, where its flavor deepens and becomes even more complex.
