Recently saw a news segment about Gala apples over taking the Red Delicious in popularity. I have never heard of Gala before as I've always considered Red Delicious as the best. So of course, next time at grocery store, I had to pick up a couple of Gala's. After a few bites, I must say, thumbs up on the Gala. I like the mild, yet still sweet taste of the Gala.
https://www.today.com/food/red-delicious-no-longer-america-s-favorite-apple-t136674Red Delicious has been the most-grown apple in America for decades, but according to trade group the U.S. Apple Association, they have been unseeded — er, unseated — by Gala apples.
The most-grown apples in America for 2018, says U.S. Apple, will now be (in order): Gala, Red Delicious, Granny Smith (for baking, we assume!), Fuji and Honeycrisp.
