Gala apples are a popular variety of apple known for their sweet flavor and crisp texture. They have a distinctive red-orange skin with yellow undertones, making them visually appealing. Gala apples are typically medium-sized and are great for eating fresh, as well as for use in salads and desserts. These apples are harvested in late summer and early fall, making them available for a good portion of the year. They are also a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C, contributing to a healthy diet. Apple trees that produce Gala apples thrive in temperate climates, requiring well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight.
