Most apples you can tell when you bite into them, whether they are ripe. They will be juicy and crisp, yet not hard or starchy. Some apples are naturally more sweet or more tart, so the best way to know it is ripe is to check the seeds. Cut the apple to the core to expose the seeds. The seeds will be white until the apple ripens when the seeds turn a dark brown color. With some varieties the whole tree will ripen all at once within a few days and should be picked over a couple weeks or they will begin to go soft and drop from the tree. Other varieties have a long ripening period and continue to be excellent quality for many weeks. Ask us about the different varieties we grow. |
