Reinette du Canada or Canadian Reinette is, despite its name, an old French cultivar of domesticated apple. It is a reinette type of golden apple, with lots of russeting, which keeps shape in cooking and is mainly used for that purpose especially in apple strudel.〔 Even today it is considered as the default russet apple of France, and is also known as the ''Reinette Blanche du Canada''〔(Reinette du Canada ) at Orange Pippin〕 and many more names.〔 ''Reinette Grise du Canada'' is probably also a sub cultivar of it, but this is not clear.〔(Reinette Grise du Canada ) by Orange Pippin〕 Reinette du Canada, or whatever name it has, likely originated in Normandy, France and was first described in 1771.〔 The fruit is tart and mostly used for cooking if picked early and used quickly; if stored for some time it gets softer and sweeter hence more recommended for fresh eating.〔(Salt Spring Apple Company )〕 It blossoms approximately three days after the Cox's Orange Pippin.〔 This apple earned the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1901.〔(Garden Apple ID )〕 ==See also== * Golden Russet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reinette du Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
