Golden Delicious Apples

The Golden Delicious apple is a variety highly valued in cooking for its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and characteristic golden-yellow color. This apple is ideal both for fresh eating and for preparing desserts, salads, compotes, and tarts due to its balanced sweetness and its ability to hold its shape after cooking.

Originating in the United States in the early 20th century, specifically in West Virginia, the Golden Delicious has spread worldwide and is cultivated in many temperate regions.

Regarding its properties, it is a natural source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making it a healthy food that helps improve digestion and strengthen the immune system.

In the Spanish-speaking world, besides "manzana Golden Delicious," this variety may be found under local synonyms such as manzana amarilla (yellow apple) or simply manzana dulce (sweet apple), although the term "Golden" is commonly used to distinguish it from other varieties.
