What characterises the early ripe apple variety Gala?
Gala has a small to middle large fruit in a round to oval shape. It is a juicy and predominantly sweet apple with a very low acidity level. The flesh is firm and yellowish and turns brown soon after cutting. The Gala apple's peel is slightly tougher than that of most apples. When the sweet Gala isn't immediately eaten, it can stored easily. The variety has a long shelf life due to its harder peel. As far as the aroma is concerned the sweet fruit flesh is reminiscent of pear. Due to the size of the fruit and the sweet taste the Gala is especially popular among children.
