The protective layer is the 'silk chemise'. All apples have a natural protection like of some kind, more or less strong, or visible. <br/>The shiny apples in the supermarkt indeed have that unnatural sticky plasticlike waxlayer that is sprayed onto the apple.

Lizet, I always thought that the protective layer was wax that is added to prolong life of non-organic fruit. Shop bought apples always seem to shine much better than home picked ones.

Jeena, thanks for visiting. I like to eat seasonally and locally (and well) so my blog is just a reflection of this. Just popping over to your blog to visit…

It has to be eaten soon. Is looks great, but remember: shining an apple will reduce the time it keeps well, you’ve just removed it’s protective layer. It has to be eaten soon.
