What month do Gala apples ripen?

Answer 1

knowing when an apple is ripe

An apple is made of starch as it is growing, when it ripens, the starch is converted to sugar. Iodine turns starch black, if you take an ounce of iodine and mix it with 15 ounces of water and put this mixture in a spray bottle, take an apple and cut it in half horizontally through the seeds. Lay the apple halves down and spray them with the iodine mixture. A fully ripe apple will stay white, an unripe apple will turn black. The ideal time to pick is when the inside of the apple is white, the outside edge of the apple is white and there is a small band of black between it.

Apples turn from green to light green to red or yellow. The color of the skin turns from bright green to Yellow .The apple is firm and crisp but not hard.

THE BASICS TO KNOW THIS ARE:

SWEETNESS-the starch which turns into sugar

AROMA-the sweet fresh smell

SOFTNESS- the apple will be firm and crisp
