McIntosh
The MacIntosh apple was first seen in Ontario, Canada by John McIntosh in 1811. By 1836 people were calling it the McIntosh Red and today it can be found in every apple growing region.. Harvest: Mid to Late september.
Selection Information
Usage: Eating fresh, cooking, salads.
Selection: Good-quality McIntosh apples will be firm with smooth, clean skin and have good color for the variety. Test the firmness of the apple by holding it in the palm of your hand. (Do not push with your thumb). It should feel solid and heavy, not soft and light.
Avoid: Avoid product with soft or dark spots. Also if the apple skin wrinkles when you rub your thumb across it, the apple has probably been in cold storage too long or has not been kept cool.
