SweeTango's #1 fault, which the site calls out, is that they do not store well. The recent bags I've taken home are notably less crisp and hardy than earlier in the fall.
That said, they'll still be absolutely delicious for another few weeks, highly recommend buying a bag. Trader Joe's usually carries.
- redserk 2y agoSweeTango tastes great. I’ve been buying apple cider made of it for the last two autumns.
- taftster 2y agoSweeTango is a cross between Honeycrisp and Zestar. It would be interesting to know how many highly ranked apples are also crossed with a Honeycrisp on the top of the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SweeTango https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SweeTango
- gammarator 2y agoThe SweeTango I had was cloyingly, almost artificially sweet. Can’t tell if it was an unlucky pick or I just have different preferences—I like an Ambrosia.
- hackama 2y agoI just bought a bag from Trader Joe's and it was absolutely disgusting. Completely mealy and flavorless. My family agrees and will probably never trust my apple picking skills again.
- rafram 2y agoI’ve gotten SweeTangos twice (in season, from Washington) and found them totally unappealing. No sourness to add interest to the flavor, not very crispy, just intense sweetness with a tiny bit of a mealy feeling. Even if I just got duds, they fail the consistency test that honeycrisps pass.
- hyper_cube 2y agowe put them straight into the refrigerator as soon as we get them home, and this works for any apple variety we buy, to preserve quality and flavor.
