Now these wonderfully delicious apples are available organic. Melissa’s Organic Gala Apples have a mild, sweet flavor that is one of the most popular apples according to the U.S. Apple Association. Gala apples have a thinner skin and are fairly resistant to bruising which makes them a perfect snack out of hand or utilized as a tasty apple for baking.
