Where can I find Red Delicious varieties from back when they were considered good? I remembered them being fine/decent/whatever when I was a kid, and recently just out of curiosity bought some Red Delicious from a local grocery store and was surprised to find they were completely inedible and totally disgusting. Like not just less sweet or less tangy, but super gross and almost like eating mushy plastic-wax wrapped in leather, and nothing like what I remembered. It sounds like they actually have been bred to be different now, so are there places that still have the older variety?
- pton_xd 2y agoPretty sure they were always mealy and disgusting. I never liked apples growing up because the only two options were basically Red Delicious and Granny Smith. Maybe some Braeburn, Fuji, and Galas now and then, none of which are particularly good either. Honeycrisps really saved the fruit!
