Really? I can think of a few just off the top of my head, ambrosia, gala, pink lady, spartan, fuji. I'm not really even that into apples.
- colechristensen 8y agoI'm similarly incredulous, but when I actually go to buy apples the only ones I'm confident I'll like are honeycrisp. I guess I'm even less into apples.
- bluejekyll 8y agoHow did you leave Granny Smith off that list?
- gwbas1c 8y agoI remember loving Granny Smith back in the 1990s. Now they just don't have the same flavor. They're pulpy instead of sweet.
- mrob 8y agoI suspect it's "improvements" in storage that are to blame. All Granny Smiths are clones from the same tree, and they were grown successfully in many different places, so I don't think climate is the problem. Probably it's some new storage technique that lets them keep longer without rotting, at the expense of taste/texture. I see problems with bananas too that I think have the same cause, where they turn directly from green to brown, and I don't remember that happening ten years ago.
