The Gala Apple is a popular and widely cultivated apple variety known for its sweet and crisp flavor. Here's everything you need to know about Gala Apples:

  1. Origin: The Gala Apple was first discovered in New Zealand in the 1930s and is a cross between the Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious apple varieties.

  2. Appearance: Gala Apples are medium-sized with a round to slightly oblong shape. They have a thin, smooth, and shiny skin that is predominantly yellow with red stripes or blushes.

  3. Flavor and Texture: Gala Apples are known for their sweet and aromatic flavor. They have a pleasant balance of sweetness and tartness, making them enjoyable to eat fresh. The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a creamy yellow color.
