Tips: When the skin becomes yellow, and feels oily, is it eatable?

Yes, most people consider green skin as  the freshest condition. However, while some refer orin as yellow apples, yellowish skin or occasionally with blush are also the natural colors of the fruit. When the fruit is getting ripe, the skin will become more yellowish with stronger aromatic apple flavor. Lots of Japanese people prefer to eat orin that way over the green skin.
