Everything about The Golden Delicious totally explained
The
Golden Delicious is a
cultivar of
apple with a yellow color. It isn't 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. The original tree was found on the Mullins' family farm in
Clay County, West Virginia and was locally known as Mullin's Yellow Seedling and Annit apple. Anderson Mullins sold the tree and propagation rights to
Stark Brothers Nurseries, which first marketed it as a companion of their
Red delicious in
1914.
The Golden Delicious was designated the official state fruit of
West Virginia by a Senate resolution on February 20, 1955. Clay County has hosted an annual Golden Delicious Festival since 1972.
Season
Harvested from autumn through winter.
