Trivia The Apple Sweetness Scale or Sweet-to-Tart Chart

[Professora Akira]

The Apple Sweetness Scale or “Sweet-to-Tart Chart” is a placement map of apples ranging from the sweetest to tartest. The apples have been placed in this order based on the individual acidity and sugar levels of each apple variety. For example, the sweetest apple on the chart, Fuji, has naturally high sugar levels inherited from its parents: Red Delicious and Vïrginiå Ralls Janet. The tartest apple, Granny Smith, has high acidity and is best to be cooked down or tossed into a salad due to its extra punch of sour flavor.

How does ot works?


How do we decide where to place an apple on the sweet-to-tart chart? Let’s look at the natural acidity and sugar levels of apples.

The reason some apples are more tart compared to others is due to varying acid levels and malic acid in apple varieties. This compound is referred to as “apple acid” and makes up 94% of the total acid in apples.
Fun fact: your body naturally creates malic acid, which is the process of converting carbohydrates to energy when you eat and helps build immunity and maintain good health.
