Skin spots

Skin spots is a typical disorder for the Elstar variety. On the green part of the apple, numerous very small brown/black spots are visible. From a distance, it can appear as if grains of sand cover the skin. It can be visible already in the storage room, but it can also appear unexpectedly during its subsequent shelf-life. The cause lies earlier in the supply chain. Problems are greatly reduced in Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere storage with very low oxygen (DCA or DCS technology).
