Tag: Apple texture

Once prized for their sweetness and juicy bite, the modern Red Delicious apple is now famously known for its soft, often mealy texture, a result of decades of selective breeding for appearance over flavor.

According to agricultural research, apples stored at room temperature can lose their crispness up to ten times faster than those refrigerated. Have you ever bitten into what you thought would be a crisp, juicy apple, only to be met with a mealy, floury sensation? Understanding why the texture of your apple is weird can save you from this disappointment and help you get the most out of your fruit.
