Golden Delicious is a clonally propagated apple cultivar, that means it was produced identically each time to maintain the current favored DNA. In other words, this apple was so good that nobody wanted variation from generation to generation.
Golden Delicious apple is said to be a cross between Grimes Golden and Golden Reinette, but was the product of unintentional breeding.
Golden Delicious is a yellow/gold apple with very subtle dark spots, it has a low tartness, high crisp, medium sweetness, and medium juiciness. This combination makes it quite delicious with each bite.
Golden Delicious apples grow in the northern hemisphere and are available all year round.
