Tips
2.9 g of fibre without the skin: the best score of the apples in this batch. And these values are measured on the flesh alone: with the skin, it would go even higher. Its dense flesh explains the gap.
It is also the highest in calories and sugar. 57.3 kcal and 12.3 g of sugars: its specification requires a minimum sugar level, which is exactly what is asked of it.
Its price comes from the brand. It often costs twice the price of a Golden, for a comparable nutritional value. It is a choice of taste, not of nutrition.
It hardly browns at all. Its low polyphenol oxidase activity makes it ideal in a fruit salad or in a lunch box cut ahead of time.
Its season is late. Picked in November, it is the last French apple of the year. Those you find in summer come from the southern hemisphere.
