Gala Apple [ 1 Lb ]

The Gala apple is one of the most popular and widely grown apple varieties in the world, renowned for its consistent quality and sweet flavor profile. Appearance: Gala apples are easily recognized by their non-uniform, bi-colored skin, which features a striped or mottled orange-red blush over a yellow-green background. Taste and Texture: It offers a mildly sweet, slightly aromatic flavor, often with hints of vanilla. The flesh is creamy white, fine-textured, and crisp but not excessively hard, making it an excellent apple for fresh eating and snacking. History: The Gala apple originated in New Zealand in the 1930s as a cross between the 'Kidd's Orange Red' and 'Golden Delicious' cultivars. The 'Royal Gala' is a popular sport (mutation) of the original Gala, selected for its more intense red color. Uses: It is extremely versatile and best enjoyed fresh and raw, but it is also suitable for salads and cooking, especially when creating sauces. The Gala is now the most-produced apple variety in the United States.
