The Instacart guide to Golden Delicious apples
About Golden Delicious apples
Also known as "Yellow Delicious," Golden Delicious apples are among the most popular apple varieties in the world. Golden Delicious apples are oblong and have thin, speckled skin that varies from pale green to golden. The flesh of a Golden Delicious is white, firm, and crisp. These apples taste very sweet, with a slight tartness and hints of honey. Despite their similar name, the Golden Delicious apple is not genetically related to the red delicious apple.Â
Golden Delicious apples are available in supermarkets year-round, with their peak season from fall through summer. In the United States, the largest Golden Delicious apple producers are Washington, New York, and Michigan.
Golden Delicious apples are a healthy addition to any diet. One medium Golden Delicious has 96 calories and four grams of fiber. Apples are good sources of vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, and vitamin K.Â
How to pick out Golden Delicious apples
Fresh, ripe Golden Delicious apples should feel firm, not mushy. The skin should be free of prominent bruising or deep cuts. Look for bright yellow skin, as green-skinned Golden Delicious apples taste more bitter. Ripe apples will smell faintly sweet.
