here's another fun fact about apples: I have no idea what the differences is between apples beyond red and green. some are better than others but I just always figure that depends on how old they are.
imo, the most important characteristic of an apple for raw eating is crunchiness. i'm fine with an acidic apple or a sweet apple and don't go too overboard about any of the subtle flavors. it's all about the texture.
wish I knew more about Apple variety.
ecokat, could you please answer my question about how you handled the apple while paying (it was before everyone else started posting stupid things btw)
Apparently no one actually read the origin of the Golden Delicious in my link... Hint: total #fanningbrag in there for me.
I thought that crunchiness was inversely proportional to age of the apple.
I really don't even remember it being an issue. I'm guessing that either I just had my debit card in my back pocket like I usually do or @winters4ksu paid for it
here's a little apple factoid- the average time between when an apple is picked, until it hits a store shelf, is 14 months

Is that intentional? Like, a ripening time or something?
