The **Golden Delicious** is a classic and extremely popular cultivar of apple. Here are its key characteristics: * **Appearance:** It is typically a large, yellowish-green to golden-yellow apple. Its skin is thin and often has small, light brown freckles or a slight russeting around the stem end. * **Flavor and Texture:** It is known for its **mild, very sweet** flavor with low acidity, sometimes described as having notes of honey. The flesh is white, crisp, and juicy when perfectly ripe, though it can become softer in storage. * **Uses:** It is one of the most versatile apples. It is excellent for **fresh eating**, and its stability when cooked and high natural sweetness make it a favorite for **baking, pies, sauces, and salads**. * **History:** It originated as a chance seedling on a farm in West Virginia in the early 1900s. * **Note:** Despite its name, the Golden Delicious is **not closely related** to the Red Delicious apple. It is, however, a parent to many other popular varieties, including Gala, Jonagold, and Pink Lady.
