1. Look at the color of the fruit

When buying apples, many people think that the redder the apple, the riper it is and of course it will be sweeter and more delicious. Not entirely. A good apple is red and slightly yellow, the side that is exposed to the sun is redder.

Some types of apples that are slightly white should not be bought because they often grow in the leaf axils. If they are not exposed to the sun for a long time, they will taste very sour.

You need to note that normal apples will not turn completely red, it is very possible that the apples are artificially ripened, not naturally ripened.

2. The surface of the apple

When choosing to buy an apple, you can touch it with your hand to feel if the surface of the apple is smooth. If the surface of the apple feels very smooth, the taste of this type of apple tends to be more sour. If the surface of the apple feels a bit rough, the apple will taste sweeter.

Many people think that rough apples that are not beautiful will not be delicious, but in fact the opposite is true.

3. Look at the navel of the apple

There is a navel at the bottom of the apple. If we look closely at some apples, we will see that some apples have large and deep navels, but some apples have the opposite, small and shallow navels.

For these two types of apples, we should choose those with large and deep navels. Such apples are riper and have a naturally sweeter taste. On the contrary, apples with small and shallow navels will be less delicious.

4. Smell the aroma

Ripe and delicious apples often have a very fragrant smell. On the contrary, unripe apples will be less fragrant and will taste sour and slightly astringent when eaten.

5. Touch and squeeze with your hands

Delicious and juicy apples will be quite round, hard, and feel heavy when held. Or we can try snapping the apple, if the sound is loud and clear, it is a crispy and delicious apple.
