A golden delicious is neither crisp (mealy) nor tart (bland, watery)- are you thinking of Granny Smith?

- nl 4y ago> I love Golden Delicious apples. To me they are the standard of what a green apple should taste like. Nor are Golden Delicious' green, so I guess they do mean Granny Smith
- mpol 4y agoDown here in the Netherlands most Golden Delicious are green, only seldom are they yellow. Mealy is when they are not saved well, more often they have a bit of bite. And juicy they are. It might differ per region.
- derac 4y agoI've had some spectacular Golden Delicious apples. I hypothesize that these otherwise mealy apples in the right condition have a soft pearish texture rather than a crisp cucumber-like one, but it is a fragile structure that degrades more rapidly.
