This might also help people find better versions of fruits they may not otherwise enjoy
Bananas. 30 minutes later it’s “hello fibre and potassium, time to visit the loo!” But seriously, there are so many great fruits.
Some from me: Blackberries are my hands-down favourite (and available everywhere in the wild in the UK autumn), raspberries, apples (so many varieties), navel oranges, mandarins, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, rockmelon/cantaloupe, soft peaches (rare; most need a hammer and chisel), plums, damsons (in jam), and grapes.
Lucy glo apples are one of the only apples I’ll eat. So good, they’re visually fun, and at least the stand I get them from they’re always very 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.
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
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 :)
Red kiwi, they taste better.
Largish yellow raisins. I like them in oatmeal cookies and with mixed nuts cooked in a nice long grain rice with some saffron.
del Monte gold pineapple. I bought it when they were out of my regular canned pineapple and now I can’t go back
What color pineapple were you eating before?
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.
Being from FL, I’m a snob about FL oranges. Particularly navels and blood varieties. California oranges can fuck right off.
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.
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?
