Apples

I don't know about u but I have bought my last apple at the local grocery store. These apples look perfect in every way but when you go to eat them they taste like pbs plastic.
Fruit that we used to eat had slight imperfections on them but they tasted really sweet and delicious. What exactly is going on, are they juggling the dna of fruit now or what?

Some of the worst tasting apples I have ever had are called "delicious".

The best apples on the planet are the ones that come off your own tree.

I agree they look great, taste bad... We grow tons of the wests apples here in Oregon and Washington. They harvest in late fall, so all of the apples you are eating now have been stored somewhere for a very long time.. NW apples are better (to me ) in the late fall, early winter. New Zeland apples seem better this time of year, I think the apple harvest is much later there (anyone down there know?) Best off your own tree, that sure true!

Thats because the apples are modified to not mold as quick. Around 25 percent of the fruit and vegetables we eat have been changed. Thats from the stores though.

The crops from south of the equator are in season approximately 6 months off from them being in season in the northern hemisphere. Just one thing I love about the "global economy"!

my mom got a juicer for christmas, so she's been buying apples in bulk. Since then she's started getting them at the farmers market and I've noticed how they taste better. not to mention you don't have to scrape off that white waxy stuff on the outside first.
