Patani and Kapoor spoke of their excitement of being a part of the campaign, adding, “we are convinced that Washington Apples are grown in highly suitable conditions and are packed and shipped with great care that results in best quality and a safe product, it was an easy choice to make.
“Healthy snacking is a challenge for most, and Washington Apples fits perfectly as an anytime snack,” the pair noted.
