Hey NonMinnesotailures, how does it feel to know that we make all the best apples and then let you pay us for the privilege of growing them?

Once again goons are incapable of eating or talking about food without embarrassing themselves. Hey you guys I ate an apple and then another time I ate an apple from a different country & I liked that more, pretty sure all the food in my country is poisoned.

I'm honestly surprised that America has apples that aren't bacon flavoured or infused with HFCS or something like literally everything else you eat.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



the most correct response to the OP is that most of the American public, in my experience, does not know how to best pick out produce. Be it an apple, cantaloupe , pineapple, or cauliflower, some people are unaware of what to look for at best, and at worst are downright backward in their selection process. The next time you bite into lovely produce, ask yourself "what makes a good X, and do I correctly understand what to look for when selecting a good X?".

We make apples that taste like grapes . We also make grapes that taste like cotton candy.

I recently tried an apple that was imported from the UK and holy poo poo what have I been missing out on? Can any Britgoons who are knowledgable about agriculture explain why your fruit tastes so much better? I honestly don't think I can ever go back to American apples because all I taste now when biting into one is wet sandpaper.

don't forget lots of our produce can be up to almost a year old before it gets shipped out, and will sit in refrigerated warehouses. Orange juice is an average of 1 year old before it gets moved from a holding tank and flavored.

Its called red blush effect. Because consumers pick apples based on what they look like, and they overwhelmingly favor red colors, greedy fuckin apple farmers will select for red coloring to the detriment of flavor and texture. So yeah thats why red delicious look beautiful but taste like wet cardboard and the same thing is happening to honeycrisp

The same thing goes with tomatoes. To get that beautiful red sheen you have to turn off genes that enable the fruit to make it's own sugar. The green in splotchy fruit comes from chloroplasts, which make sugar via photosynthesis. Remove that, and you get beautiful red tomatoes. That have 20% less sugar and carotenoids.

I figure the same thing applies with apples.
