This attractive and flavorful variety is also produced in most of the
apple-growing areas, but the best are produced in the Northwest. Although
it bears the same name and is similar in shape to the Red Delicious, it
is an entirely separate variety. It is far juicier and sweeter and has a
smoother flesh texture than the Red Delicious. It has a more tender skin
and, unlike the Red Delicious, is a fine apple for cooking and baking. Have
someone peel you a Red Delicious and a Golden Delicious and make a taste
test. Nine times out of ten the Golden Delicious will walk away with the
honors.
