Queen apples

Queen is an apple variety originating from New Zealand. It's a cross between the Gala and Splendor varieties. These large apples have an intensely red color of the skin, with small creamy speckles. The texture is fine-grained, crisp, and very juicy.

The flavor is sweet, but only moderately, with subtle notes of banana and pears. The aroma is light and fruity. Queen apples are especially popular in Asian markets. It's recommended to eat them fresh as a snack, use them in salads, or transform them into juice.
