Description
The Granny Smith Apple is a very popular apple variety. It is named after Mrs. Mary Ann (Granny) Smith, an Australian native in 1868 who discovered it as a chance seedling. These apples are round or conical shaped, medium to large in size, with a distinctive green skin, which may have a red blush. The flesh is white, firm and quite crisp and juicy while the seeds are brown coloured and tear-drop shaped. Once cut, these apples keep their color longer than other apples. Granny Smith apples are usually harvested in September and available year-round.
