Gala

The Most Popular Apple.
Honey-sweet with a tart bite and intensely juicy flavor, it’s the #1 choice for snacking.

Description

With its mild sweetness and crisp, light texture, the Gala apple is a delight to enjoy fresh. After more than 50 years as the most grown apple in the U.S., Red Delicious has been surpassed by Gala, which now holds the #1 spot. Gala apples store well and are available nearly year-round, making them a dependable favorite for consistent taste and flavor with every bite.

Gala apples originated from a natural cross-pollination between Golden Delicious and Kidd’s Orange Red varieties, combining the best qualities of both into a simple yet satisfying apple.
