The best apple I ever had was a Fuji apple… in Japan.
It's never that crisp in the US.
I don't know why they rank Cosmic Crisp so low. I rank it neck and neck with SweeTango.
- NKosmatos 4y agoCame here to say the same thing about Fuji apples. They're great from all aspects, juicy, nice taste, crisp/crunchy and you can keep them for many days without going bad. I don't know about the author or other places, but here in Greece we get them produced locally and they're always fresh and delicious. (Obviously I'm a Fuji apple lover :-) )
- Blackthorn 4y agoProbably out of season. We can get cosmic crisps here year round, but they're usually out of season as a result. One of the good things about cosmic crisp is they don't really go super bad out of season, just almost-good.
- ambrose2 4y agoThey have really high standards in general for fruit in Japan.
- wizofaus 4y agoPerhaps, but the prices are far far higher than would be justified by any increase in quality. And I'm not just talking about $5000 Densuke watermelons. Even a mango can be 3 or 4 times the price I'm used to paying in Aus.
- trashface 4y agoOrganic Fuji apples in US can be pretty good, I certainly wouldn't categorize them as "Horse Food" as the site does. I like them better than Honeycrisp (and similar) which are almost sickeningly sweet to me. I also like Gala which this site ranks as "mediocre". It seems like the author just likes super sweet, crisp apples.
- alach11 4y agoI have to agree that Cosmic Crisp was unfairly ranked here. I did a blind tasting of ten apple varietals with 14 friends and Cosmic Crisp was the winner.
- TheCondor 4y agoI’m also a Fuji fan, it seems they either aren’t as consistent or don’t travel well. In the western US they are a serviceable and solid pick..
- LarryMade2 4y agoMost other apples give me heartburn, but Fuji are very good. I think taste may vary so that list is based on that person's opinion and taste-buds.
- charlieyu1 4y agoI don't even understand why this guy gave Fuji so low, a lot of Japanese fruits are another level. I will have them all day if only they weren't so expensive.
