WHY GOLDEN DELICIOUS?
These are excellent for fresh eating, in a salad, in
pies or for baking. Late season apple with a crisp, rich
flavor - the taste is sweet, fragrant and juicy. They
also store one to two months in the refrigerator. It
is a superb eating apple. It is very good for baking,
holding its shape, and also excellent for use in salads.
