Voted #1 by Ontario consumers! The Gala is a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Kidd’s Orange Red, a medium sized apple with a generally round appearance. The Gala apple’s colouration can range from yellow to completely red, depending on the strain. Two of the most common strains you will find among our growers are the Royal Gala and the Fulford Gala. Both of these varieties have large, dark red blush spots on a yellow background.
Gala apples’ sweet, yellow or cream-coloured flesh is great in salads, baking, pies, sauces and freezes well.
