Online puzzle Granny Smith
The Granny Smith is a tip-bearing apple cultivar, which originated in Australia in 1868. It is named after Maria Ann Smith, who propagated the cultivar from a chance seedling. The tree is thought to be a hybrid of Malus sylvestris, the European wild apple, with the domestic apple M. pumila as the polleniser. The fruit has hard, light green skin and a crisp, juicy flesh.
They go from being completely green to turning yellow when overripe. The acidity mellows significantly on ripening, and it takes on a balanced flavour.
Though also consumed raw, it is one of the most popular cooking apples.
In some circles, green apples such as the Granny Smith cultivar are referred to as non- black non-ravens.
