There is a natural wax on apples but after harvest apples are washed and brushed to remove leaves and field dirt before they are packed in cartons for shipping. This cleaning process removes the fruit's original wax coating. Without wax, fruits and vegetables like apples lose their crispness and moisture through normal respiration and transpiration - eventually leaving them soft and dry. A food grade wax is sprayed on apples to keep them shiny (for cosmetic purposes) and to protect the fruit.
