These apples are pale green to golden yellow in color and speckled with small lenticels (spots). They are small to medium in size, and tend to be conical or oblong in shape. Golden Delicious apples are firm, crisp, and white-fleshed. Besides, they have a balanced sweet-tart aromatic flavor, which has been described as honeyed. Low in calories, these apples are a good source of soluble fiber, not to mention that they also contain vitamins A and C, as well as a trace amount of boron and potassium. The sweet-tartness of the Golden Delicious means this apple is a good fresh-eating variety. When fresh, raw apple slices may be added to green salads, fruit salads, or grain salads. Golden Delicious apples also have the necessary acid content and stability for baking. They can be baked into crisps, crumbles, tarts, cakes, and breads. Apple slices may also be cooked down into preserves and butters.
