I've noticed the honeycrisp variety is comparatively cheaper this year than in years past. Closer to the price of other apple varieties at the stores I frequent. I go for pink lady apples recently though.
Honey crisp is becoming more widely available as the variety's patent protections ran out a few years ago. Now that you don't have to have a special license from University of Minnesota to grow them we're gonna be able to get the "generic."
Hell, I just planted one a few months ago.
It makes sense to me that they'd get a lot cheaper when the supply is no longer artificially constrained.
Pink lady here, too. I used to be a Gr. Smith kinda guy. But nowadays not so much. They don't come with the kind of crispiness and juiciness and savoriness that I remember.
Then again I don't eat much fruit at all. Mostly berries if anything. Man, you put a bowl of cherries in front of me? You better ask for some quickly, before I finish it. My favorite.
Back around 2002 I used to love the pink ladies from New Zealand, but now I can only get the ones from the US, and they are not as special.
Where the fuck are you buying any apples for $3.99 a pound?!
Fuji's are $2/lb here. Gala $2.50, Cosmic Crisp $2.50. Honey crisp is $2/lb if you buy a 3 lb bag. NC prices.
Wow, ok you said that and I was like I've totally seen that price on the regular, which is why I stick to gala, but I went looking and can't find anything over $2.49, so, way to go, you fixed inflation! What else don't you believe?
I personally don't think gas is actually over $3.00/gal
Thank you so much, I'll check it out...
pink lady or nothing
Yeah but are they organic?
Hand picked in the Oregon valley by apple cheeked peasants.
Organic means from Oregon
Oregonic :-P
So then uh... where do "orgasmic" apples come from? Asking for a friend.
Fuck that. Organic produce goes bad in like a day.
Everybody's got a thing
Golden Delicious or Granny Smith are where itβs at for apples, I donβt need any of these trendy hipster artisanal apple bullshit.
Every time someone tries to convince me that apples aren't just garbage fruit they ask, "but have you tried honey crisps?" Yeah, have you tried any other fruit? The worst fruit from the tropics is just way better than the best apple.
You really want to make the argument that noni are way better than apples?
but have you tried fuji apples? Pink lady? SugarBee? Cosmic crisp?
SugarBee are not well balanced imo. Way to sweet without the tartness to back it up.
Sometimes I just want a sweet apple without the tart and for that SugarBee is perfect. In fact, that may be what the person I responded to was looking for.
That's valid. Just because I can't relate to that desire doesn't make it wrong. That's why I mentioned it was just my opinion and specifically why I'm not a fan.
