The skin is a bit chewy and there's a little nice lingering astringency.ĭepending, maybe, on time of harvest, Granny can be harsh, but at best this variety is lively, refreshing, and no great challenge to enjoy. Lime, pear, and cane sugar mingle together, and the balance suggests an almost vinous quality.
Though her acidity asserts itself there is a good deal of balancing sweetness. It is crisp but not "breaking" and each bite has a little give to it. Inside is medium-dense white flesh shot with green highlights, full of tart juice. The apple is firm and its aroma has citrusy overtones. The many large lenticels are lightest of all. These two veridian tints mix in streaks on most of the surface. In many other regions the green is glazed and milky. In the stem well and elsewhere the color is rich and saturated. The skin is a beautiful spring green, on closer inspection resolving into two distinct shades.
Large and classically shaped, this variety is slightly ribbed and slightly tapered (though more cylindrical than conical).
Distinctive Granny Smith breaks the mold of sweet-and-similar industrial apples.
