October Apple Tasting: A Fresh Way to Snack at Work

October Apple Tasting: A Fresh Way to Snack at Work 

Fall is in full swing, and while many fruits take a seasonal break, apples are just getting started! This October, our office fruit baskets are celebrating the harvest with a curated selection of seven apple varieties, each with its own flavor profile, texture, and personality. 

Think of it as a guided tasting experience, delivered right to your workplace! Whether you're grabbing a quick snack between meetings or sharing a moment with your team in the breakroom, these apples offer a refreshing way to enjoy the season.

• Exceptionally crisp and juicy, Honeycrisp is the crowd-pleaser. Vibrant, loud, and impossible to ignore. 

Fuji

🍂 Make It a Breakroom Experience  

Want to turn your fruit basket into something more than just a snack? Try hosting a mini apple tasting in the breakroom (or even at home)! It’s a simple, low-effort way to connect and celebrate the season together.  

Here’s how:  

• Slice up each apple variety and label them with tasting notes (click here to download and print labels for this activity).  

• Invite your team to sample and vote on their favorites  

• Spark conversation with questions like: “Which apple surprised you?” or “What are some of your favorite fall recipes with apples?”  

• Share your top picks on your office chat or social channels (Tag us @SigonasOffice) 

• Elevate the experience and pair them with cheese and/or peanut butter 

It’s a fun, flavorful way to bring people together (and a great excuse to take a mindful break during the workday).  

This month, let your fruit basket be more than just a delivery. Make it a shared experience! Celebrate the harvest, discover new favorites, and enjoy the simple pleasure of seasonal snacking at work.
