reading the "x is my favorite" apple comments reallly make me want to go buy an assortment of various apples and try them. i never realized there was so much variety or even a noticable difference between different types

@erawanpencil Ай бұрын

I don't know anyone who eats just straight apples, let alone knows the fine details of the different cultivars or whatever lol. I'd be really worried that this is a dying industry since my guess is it's only older people or maybe school cafeterias. Apples cut up the mouth, get stuck in teeth, and are loaded with sugar... if I wanted a healthy option I'd gnaw on a head of broccoli. Juicing and pie apples are probably the future.

This breeding technique is so old, I almost wouldn't call it science anymore 😂. With apples, you basically throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks. Their seeds essentially hold all "apple" DNA, it takes thousands of plants just to find one that isn't bitter. Sure, they started with a baseline idea of what they wanted from 2 variety, but they got lucky to find that collaboration 😉

@hendrix4259 you must not understand how we breed different plants, it is ok. I'll dumb this down because I never said it wasn't science. This apple came from the oldest way possible to breed them though, stick seeds in the ground and hope for a sweet variety. If you don't know, apple seeds will not produce fruit like what it came from, it will make a very random apple tree, nothing like its parent. So they just planted trees until they found something desirable.

Envy apples pretty much replace every other apple if you want a skin that doesn't add bitterness and is easy to eat and the meat of the apple is sweet and tasty. My wife won't eat anything else. Cosmic Crisp are OK. The problem with Red Delicious is decisions that were made by grocery chains where they wanted the apple to have a longer shelf life which required a thicker skin, and the world of big ag. gave it to them, and now most people won't touch them because there are much better options. You don't get it both ways. The best sweet corn doesn't have a long shelf life, and you only get it for about 3 weeks in the places that grow it, Silver Queen. That's the rub. If fruit or veg has a bit of sugar AND isn't hard as a rock, it's not going to last. You have to enjoy it while it's in season.
