Well, it's not about the taste but rather the profits. Growing redder apples would mean early harvest for the growers because they don't have to wait for the fruits to change color while still in the tree. > Earlier harvesting is better for storage, said Randy Beaudry, Ph.D., a > professor at Michigan State University’s Department of Horticulture. > “Sometimes we have to wait just a little too long for that color > development to take place, so even though I think of Honeycrisp as a > bicolor apple, the redder fruits let us get it off the tree in better > shape.” What can we get from eating apples? As evidenced by studies, eating apple is good for our health. Apples are fiber-rich fruits which are good for constipation. They are also rich in antioxidants which protect our cells from damage. **"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"**.
