Description

Green apples are a type of apple characterized by their bright green skin and a tart, refreshing flavor. They are highly valued in cooking for their firm and juicy texture, which makes them ideal both for eating raw and for using in desserts, salads, sauces, and baked preparations.

The origin of green apples dates back to wild species from Central Asia, although today they are cultivated all over the world, especially in regions with temperate climates. In many recipes, green apples provide a touch of balanced acidity, enhancing flavors and adding freshness.

Properties: They are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, benefiting digestion and strengthening the immune system. Furthermore, their low calorie content makes them an ideal ingredient for healthy options.

In the Hispanic world, besides "green apples," they are also known as "sour apple", "green apple" (singular), or simply "apple" when the culinary context makes it clear.
