Gala Apples
Gala apples are one of the most popular apple varieties thanks to their naturally sweet flavor and crisp, juicy bite. With their signature red-and-yellow streaked skin and mild taste, they are a favorite for both children and adults. Galas are perfect for enjoying fresh on their own, but their versatility also makes them a great choice for a variety of dishes. Slice them into a salad for a refreshing crunch, pair them with cheese for a balanced snack, or bake them into pies and crisps for a naturally sweet dessert.
Unlike tart apples, Gala apples have a gentle sweetness that makes them appealing to almost every palate. They are also lower in acidity, giving them a smooth and pleasant flavor that’s easy to enjoy any time of day. Because of their thin skin and tender flesh, Galas are convenient for eating without much preparation, making them an excellent grab-and-go fruit.
