Which apple should you buy?
Frutanza buying guide · Updated July 2026
With four imported apple varieties to choose from, the "best" apple really depends on what you want it for — a sweet lunchbox snack, a tart baking apple, or something in between. Here is a quick comparison to help you decide.
| Apple | Taste | Sweetness | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Zealand Gala Apples | Honey-sweet with a candy crunch | High | Kids & everyday snacking | ₹349 |
| New Zealand Queen Apples | Sweet with a gentle tartness | Medium-high | Snacking & salads | ₹349 |
| Red Delicious Apples | Mild, mellow and sweet | Medium | Lunchboxes & fruit bowls | ₹389 |
| Granny Smith Apples | Bright, tart and crisp | Low (tart) | Baking, pies & toffee apples | ₹359 |
Which apple is best for kids?
Go for Gala or Queen — they are sweet, crunchy and not tart, so children actually finish them. Both are lunchbox-friendly and easy to eat.
Which apple is best for baking?
Granny Smith. Its firm, tart flesh holds its shape in the oven and balances the sugar in pies, crumbles and cakes.
Which apple is the sweetest?
Gala is the sweetest and most candy-like. Queen is a close second with a little more tang.
Which apple is the crunchiest?
Gala and Granny Smith have the firmest, crispest bite. Red Delicious is softer and more mellow.
