A type of deep red apple variety, originally from Norfolk, England, that was traditionally used for cooking and storage.
Named after the Biffin region or possibly a person named Biffin in Norfolk, England. This apple variety became famous in the 18th and 19th centuries and was widely exported.
Before refrigerators existed, certain apple varieties like Biffins could be stored for months, and people actually traveled around selling these specialized apples—they were basically the 'superfoods' of their era because they lasted so long.
