Interesting read. I've always found Gala and Fuji too soft and lacking the crispness of a Red Delicious. I have never been able to stand them. I can't abide non-crisp apples.
I find the best apple for crispness and taste is the Cameo, followed by Granny Smithes. Red Deliciouses still hold 3rd place when it come apple taste and crispness for me.
- peeters 12y agoInteresting; while I agree with your ideals, I find they lead me to the opposite conclusion. Red delicious were never crisp enough, compared to Gala which are consistently crisp, and for a lot longer.
- fphhotchips 12y agoI've found that both Gala and Fuji vary heavily according to the time of year. If I get them 'in season' [1], they're crisp and delicious. If I get them out of season, they can be quite soft/floury. It's been a long time since I had a soft Pink Lady though. [1] I put that in quotes because I'm not sure whose season. I'm an Aussie, and we can get them year round, so I figure we must be importing at some point. As such, this may be a regional thing.
