Sour apples

Tart apples are a type of apple characterized by their fresh and slightly acidic flavor, ideal for providing a perfect balance in both sweet and savory recipes. These apples stand out for their firm and juicy texture, which makes them especially suitable for baking, preparing compotes, or salads, as they do not easily fall apart during cooking.

The origin of tart apples is found in various regions of the northern hemisphere, especially in countries with temperate climates such as the United States, Canada, and some areas of Europe. However, their cultivation has spread widely in Latin America, where they are valued for their versatility in both home and professional gastronomy.

Regarding their properties, tart apples are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. Their low sugar content makes them a healthy option for those looking to control their caloric intake without sacrificing flavor in their dishes.

In Hispanic America, tart apples may also be known as green apples, sour apples, or simply sour green apples, depending on the region. This term refers to their characteristic color and the flavor profile that differentiates them from sweeter varieties.
