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 much russeting, which keeps shape in cooking and is mainly used for that purpose especially in apple strudel. [1]
Even today it is considered as the default russet apple of France, and is also known as the Reinette Blanche du Canada [2] and many more names. [3] Reinette Grise du Canada is probably also a sub cultivar of it, but this is not clear. [1] Reinette du Canada, or whatever name it has, likely originated in Normandy, France and was first described in 1771. [3]
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. [3] It blossoms approximately three days after the Cox's Orange Pippin. [4] Typical size: width 83-87 mm, height 59-71 mm, stalk 11-17 mm. [5] [6] [7]
- Reinette du Canada is triploid.
- S genotype S1 S2 S3
- Vitamin C 17 mg/100 gram
- Density 0.80 [8]
Chemical composition
Sugar 14.0-16.4%, acid 0.80-0.91%, pectine 0.74-0.77%. [9]
