This might also help people find better versions of fruits they may not otherwise enjoy

      Came here to say this! Beautifully crisp too. I hate most red apples for how soft they can be and how grainy they can feel sometimes. Maybe I’ve had ones at the wrong side of ripe, but pink ladies are the perfect hybrid of green and red. I used to love Macintoshes for this but pink ladies are much better

    Not many. I don’t like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else…

    Maybe this thread will help me :)

    A few years ago, I was in Asia for the first time. On a ship in Malaysia, to be specific. I was chitchatting with a Malaysian coworker before our shift started, and on our way out I grabbed a nice looking fruit on my way out of the galley. I took a bite, and it was like nothing I’d ever tasted before, so of course I had to ask what kind of fruit it was.

    “Uh… a pear?” My coworker replied, surprised that I had to ask. To me pears are green, and has a completely different texture. I never knew yellow ones existed until then.

        I’m from Indonesia and it’s common to see distinctively different kind of pears. There are pears that are significantly yellow even when ripe, they are also more round-shaped than the usual pear-shaped pear.

        Sometimes they can be more crunchy like apple.

        Tbh I don’t know the exact name, I just called them “yellow pear.”

    Ataulfo mangoes. At least in the northeast US, they are reliably delicious and ripen on the counter.

    Cortland apples

      Same. They’ve replaced Pink Ladies as my favorite. The texture and perfect amount of sweetness make them such a joy!

    Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?

    Granny Smith apples. They have intense flavor and solid crispness, unlike other variety vaguely sweet mushy apples. Most importantly, they’re still good out of season.

    Every year I go wild with variety for 1-2 month, then return to Grannies for the rest of the year
