A good bite leaves behind a small puddle of juice in the newly formed crater, and the satisfaction continues as the piece of apple is chewed further, the crunch echoing through the skull. As the apple slowly turns to pulp and is swallowed, the number one thing on the mind is the perfectly sweet and ever so slightly sour flavor left behind.
Such is the experience of eating and reaping the benefits from the perfect apple . Many people find this experience with a reliable Honeycrisp or McIntosh apple, but there are also yellow varieties of apples up to the task of delivering a memorable multi-sensory experience. Most notably: Golden Delicious and Opal.
These varieties may seem indistinguishable on the surface since they are both yellow, crunchy, and sweet, but their histories and difference in browning properties set them apart. Other apples branch off from the Golden Delicious In 1912, a West Virginian discovered a mostly yellow, slightly green apple and sold its tree to Stark Brothers Nurseries, which then gave the apple variety its name: Golden Delicious. This variety quickly rose to fame, taking the fruit world by storm with its distinctly sweet and crunchy characteristics.
West Virginia takes pride in being the place where it all started, and features the Golden Delicious as its state fruit and celebrates it annually at the Clay County Golden Delicious Festival. In addition to being on.
