Apple Gala

Their firm, crisp flesh, the intense, sweet taste and the refreshing juiciness as well as their unique variety of varieties - these are the reasons for the popularity of apples. Of the over 20,000 existing apple varieties, about 30 have greater market significance, with new varieties constantly being introduced to the market.

Origin
The original home of the apple is between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Over thousands of years, it has spread to all parts of the world. The apple is the favorite fruit of the Germans. The average German consumes 20 kg per year. About half of this comes from domestic production and half from imports. The German harvest amounts to 600,000 to 700,000 tons per year, imports amount to 600,000 tons. 

Tips
The nutrient combination of the apple is ideal as a snack or after exercise, during school breaks or on the go. On the one hand, apples are thirst-quenching because of their water and acid content, on the other hand they contain quickly usable carbohydrates.

Preparation
The apple is the main type of fruit for fresh consumption. It is also often used to prepare salads (fruit, potato, herring, Waldorf salad, etc.), for apple strudel, cakes and pies of various kinds, for baked apples, raw vegetable platters, etc. The apple is a special culinary treat with fried liver with onions and mashed potatoes. Otherwise, cookbooks offer a wealth of recipes for apples.

Storage recommendation

Apples should not be stored in the refrigerator. They stay fresh best in dark, cool pantries.
