"The Ginger Gold apple is great as a snack or multi-purpose cooking and baking apple that holds its shape when cooked. The fruit is medium to large, round to oblate, and it has a smooth skin. A mature Ginger Gold is yellow with a slight red, striped blush. The fruit flesh is a white cream color and is slow to discolor or oxidize which makes this apple a natural for salads, slices and chunks or garnishes. The fruits texture is crisp and firm."
