A lot of red delicous apples have whitish areas/stains on the outside
skin. It is difficult to remove them even when trying to rub them off
under running water. They seem to peel off when scratching with a
finger nail. These white areas are barely visible but I would like to
know what they are. Are they traces of pesticides?
Wax. It's why they can be so marvelously shiny if you buff them.
