Ahhh. They certainly are. This particular
apple variety has a
sweet flavour somewhere between the tartness of a
Granny Smith and the cloying sweetness of some
red apples. Golden delicious is the second most
popular apple variety in the world. They have a firm flesh and are very
juicy. They have a dark green skin with freckles of light brown. As the fruit
ripens the skin becomes paler and more yellow.
They are excellent for cooking and are a good choice for cider.
Golden Delicious is also the name of a bluegrass band featuring Pete Krebs
