Are green apples ripe or raw?

Green apples are ripe.

Here's why:

* Ripeness is about the apple's development, not its color. Apples change color as they ripen, but some varieties stay green even when fully ripe.

* Green apples have a distinct flavor and texture that are different from unripe apples. They are typically tart and crisp.

* Green apples are available in grocery stores and markets, indicating they are ready for consumption.

While green apples are ripe, they may not be as sweet as other varieties like red or yellow apples. However, they are still delicious and enjoyable to eat.
