Got apples today and this thing was there. The tart vs sweet scale is totally wrong except for the granny smith apple. For instance, an opal apple is like 3x as sweet as a fuji. I’ve tried a pacific rose apple and I can’t precisely remember the flavor but it was nowhere near as tart as a granny smith. Good to see a list of some of the cultivars though. I haven’t tried some of these.
The opal apples were back in stock again and looked like a lot of them sold already. There was also a huge stock of fresh firm honeycrisps. I ended up getting opals, honeycrisps, a couple raves, and some pink ladys.
I got some good looking fujis last time and they were awful. They tasted like dirty water. Every time I’ve ever gotten a fuji apple that had an overall brown hue, it has been like that. But I just looked it up and supposedly fujis first ripen in October, so it’s about time they should start tasting good again.
