What’s not to like about the Royal Gala apple this time of year? With its cheerful red flesh speckled by yellow undertones, the Gala is a diva. It’s mellow sweetness makes it an ideal summer desert. But keep a napkin handy - the Gala is one juicy lady!
Two interesting Royal Gala facts:
- The Gala is a hybrid of Kidds Orange Red and Golden Delicious apples
- Galas were originally developed in New Zealand in 1934 and have only been available in the U.S. since 1980.
Why am I so excited about Gala apples today? Why not? They’re delicious.

You make me laugh! Thanks! Now, if you were a braeburn…well, I would just throw myself at you and beg for mercy. But I guess I’m so dang old school.

Your tidbit on the Gala apple is delightful. One post like this a day is sure to keep the doctor away. However, it leaves me wondering why fruit engineers need to go and screw a good thing up.
What’s up with the Grapple anyway? It is an apple infused with grape juice, and they’re encased in plastic packaging. Somehow the saccharine stench still manages to escape!
What’s next? Chocolate infused bananas? Hey wait, that sounds good.
