Red Delicious
Deep red classic, crunchy and mildly sweet
A variety with a strong, dark-red skin and a very crunchy bite. The sweetness is mild and pleasant, and the juicy flesh develops a wonderful gentle sugar as it matures. Red Delicious is rich in vitamin A and carotene, and is traditionally credited with a positive influence on the cardiovascular system.
