Green Apples

Green apples are the generic name in Singapore for Granny Smith apples, the classic variety of Malus botanica available around the world. Originally from Australia, Granny Smiths are now grown in places such as South Africa and shipped to countries such as Singapore, other African countries, and countries in the European Union. Green apples are available year-round; those from South Africa are available summer through fall.

As their name implies, green apples have uniformly bright green skin, which can occasionally be greenish-yellow. It's possible that fruits with a red flush were produced in a colder region. The skin is hard and covered in white or grey lenticels. Green apples have a medium size, round-conical shape with slight ribbing (approximately 2 ¼ inches across). The white flesh of the Green apple is firm, crunchy, and juicy. Green apples have a very acidic flavor, sometimes to the point where there is no other flavor present, but they are typically reviving. South African green apples sometimes taste sweeter than apples from other regions of the world.
