Sweetango apples and sumo mandarin oranges. Sweetangos are the better honey crisp.
Pink Lady apples. Perfect balance of sweet and tart for me.
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
Oh man yeah, didn’t even think about the texture. Gonna go get one at lunch time now.
Oh yeah, although the kanzi apples can be better sometimes.
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.
Arent most pears yellow when they are ripe?
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.”
Fuji apples
Care Care oranges
Pink Lady apples or bust
Golden Kiwis, not only can you eat the skin, it makes it delicious.
I eat the skin of regular kiwi’s. Am I not supposed to?
You can, I just find the skin on golden ones way more enjoyable
Ataulfo mangoes. At least in the northeast US, they are reliably delicious and ripen on the counter.
Cortland apples
Kanzi or Jazz apples.
I like cosmic crisp 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
Absolutely. Love Granny Smith.
Lychee fruit is wonderful. Also pomelos, but they are hideously expensive now.
Zamli dates. Jazz Apple. Pink lady apple.
I love Jazz apples but pink lady never grew on me. They are like polar opposites, I think.
Pink lady is my favorite apple ever. Crisp, sweet, sour. Perfection. I eat them almost every day.
Sindhri Mangoes
Nendran bananas
