This might also help people find better versions of fruits they may not otherwise enjoy
I suppose I am a basic bitch - Honeycrisp apples, Mission figs (fresh), haas avocados and the wee golden Champagne mangoes are the best IMO.
Oranges, though? Valencia or tangelos are flavorful, the navel oranges are bland nonsense.
Fuji apples when I make apple cobbler.
For just sitting there eating peanut butter on an apple, a honeycrisp. I used to go for Galas because they were cheap, but lately I decided $1 more per pound of apples is better than occasionally eating a dozen donuts when I want something sweet. Overall, just better to spend more money on healthier food than to absolutely optimize my grocery budget then binge on junk food when the optimization freaks me out.
del Monte gold pineapple. I bought it when they were out of my regular canned pineapple and now I can’t go back
We get these fresh here, and wow I agree, these are so sweet and flavorful. Even if they don’t look as ripe as the other ones they taste better, you can smell them when you approach the display.
I mix the juice with seltzer water
Jazz apples Tangelos Medjool Dates
Medjool Dates fresh are heavenly.
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.
