AdminAugust 31, 2018

It’s almost that time of year again; Apple season is coming! Choosing the right apple can be a difficult task at times. Since each apple has different colors, flavors, and textures; each good for their own purposes like cooking and baking it can be tough to know what Apple is good for what recipe and when it is the best time to buy what type of apple.

The Growth Cycle Of An Apple

An apple growth cycle starts with an apple seed being planted in the soil, either by nature or a person planting the seed. The apple seed will then need water and sunlight for it to grow into a tree. The tree will begin to produce blossoms, and with the help of bees, these blossoms will turn into apples. The apple will grow into a juicy fruit!

Types of Apples

Since every apple has different flavors, uses, and the best time of the season it can be hard to know when it is the best time for each apple! Here is a guide to some of the most popular types of apples:

Granny Smith– Theses apples are known for their bright green skin. Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp with a firm texture that holds well when baked. These are the best apples for apple pie and are best in mid to late October!
Fuji– Fuji apples have become an extremely popular apple, they are known to be crisp and sweet apples that are perfect for salads, sandwiches, and slaws. The best time for these apples is in mid to late October.
Golden Delicious– With a bright yellow color and soft texture, Golden Delicious are ideal for salads since they do not brown quickly. However, they do tend to bruise easily so make sure to use them right away! These apples are best in mid to late September.
Red Delicious– Red Delicious apples are known for their deep red color, they have a slightly mealy texture that doesn’t cook well. However, these are one of the more popular types of apples since they have great flavor and best eaten raw. These apples are best in mid to late September.

Boiling- Known as being the fastest way to cook broccoli, be sure to cool the broccoli quickly, as it will continue to cook after it comes out of the pot.
Sauteing- Sauteing the broccoli in a large skillet will allow the broccoli to get a delicious, crunchy, brown edge. Sauteing broccoli goes great with other vegetables as well.

Steam it- To start, fill the steamer basket with an inch or two of water. By putting broccoli in a steamer basket for 3-5 minutes, you will have a quick and delicious snack. Add lemon or seasoning to steamed broccoli for additional flavor!

Roast it- Lay the broccoli in a baking sheet and roast it with salt, pepper, and olive oil for around 20 minutes. Allow the broccoli to char at the ends, and let sit until it is fully cooled.
Grill it- A step above roasting the broccoli, grilling the broccoli will give the broccoli an even char all around in less than 10 minutes.
