Granny Smith apple 80/85 extra ⚖
500270
World-renowned, the Granny Smith apple is a variety easily recognisable by its smooth, bright green skin. The 80/85 size refers to the diameter of the fruit in millimetres, and the word 'Extra' indicates superior quality. This fruit, selected for you by Le Delas in Rungis, is appreciated for its very firm and juicy flesh and its very acidic and slightly sweet flavour, ideal for contrasting flavours in savoury dishes or pastries.
Culinary uses:
Granny Smith apples are suitable for a variety of uses, both raw and cooked:
► Raw consumption: Ideal for mixed salads (where their acidity is an asset), raw vegetables or simply for a crunchy snack. Their flesh oxidises less quickly than other varieties.
► Pastries: Essential for traditional apple pies, crumbles and compotes, as their firmness allows them to hold their shape well during cooking.
► Savoury accompaniment: Used as an accompaniment to meat or poultry dishes to add a refreshing touch of acidity.
► Juices and smoothies: Their very tart juice is perfect for balancing sweeter mixtures.
Storage and preparation tips:
► Storage: Fresh product. Store in a cool place (ideally in the refrigerator or in a cool, well-ventilated room) to maintain crispness and firmness.
► Preparation: Wash before consumption. Peel and core for cooked preparations.
