Description
| Red Delicious is a variety of apple with a red exterior and sweet taste. Known as “the Reds” in the industry,[1] this variety is the result of a chance seedling. It was first recognized in Madison County, Iowa, in 1872. Despite its name, it is not related to the Golden Delicious. It is available all year round and is best consumed fresh or in salads.[2] Today, the name Red Delicious covers more than 50 cultivars (cultivated varieties). It was the most produced apple cultivar in the United States from 1968 until 2018, when it was surpassed by Gala.[3][4][5] It also lost that title in Canada at around the same time.[6] Even so, it remains popular in Mexico and some Asian countries.(INFORMATION CREDIT) |
