The Golden Delicious is a cultivar of apple with a yellow color. It is not related to the Red Delicious apple.
Appearance and flavor
Golden Delicious is a large, yellow skinned cultivar and very sweet to the taste. It is prone to bruising and shriveling, though, so it needs careful handling and storage. It is sweeter than the Granny Smith and is a favorite for salads, apple sauce, and apple butter.History
This very popular cultivar is a chance seedling possibly from Grimes Golden and Golden Reinette. It was first called Mullin's Yellow Seedling when propagation rights were sold to Stark Brothers Nursuries who first marketed as a companion of their Red delicious in 1914 in Clay County, West Virginia by Anderson Mullins.Season
Harvested from autumn through winter.External links
