An apple with a sharp taste.
خلفية ثقافية
Guba is famous for its apples. The 'turş alma' from this region is often used to make 'lavashana', a thin fruit leather used in cooking. Sometimes, very thin slices of sour apple are served with tea instead of lemon to provide a subtle tartness. The word 'turş' is a loanword from Persian, showing the deep historical ties between the two cultures in culinary vocabulary. In villages, children often eat 'kal' (unripe) sour apples with salt as a summer snack.
The Salt Trick
If you want to sound like a local, mention that you like eating 'turş alma' with a bit of salt.
Don't say 'Acı'
Never use 'acı' for a sour apple; it will confuse people into thinking the apple is spicy or rotten.
