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.
Cara cara oranges. Honey crisp apples. Alphonso mangos. Vidalia onions (not a fruit tho)
Cara cara oranges are so special and yummy.
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.
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!
Pink Lady apples or bust
I bust for the pink lady
Zamli dates. Jazz Apple. Pink lady apple.
Pink lady is my favorite apple ever. Crisp, sweet, sour. Perfection. I eat them almost every day.
I love Jazz apples but pink lady never grew on me. They are like polar opposites, I think.
Honeycrisp or fuji apples. Cara cara oranges. Meyer lemons. Still undecided on the cotton candy grapes.
I’m on Team Honeycrisp 100%, even though they always cost more.
IIRC the University of Minnesota’s patent expired a few years ago. I can usually get them for the same price as fujis and pink ladies.
Sweetango apples and sumo mandarin oranges. Sweetangos are the better honey crisp.
Lychee fruit is wonderful. Also pomelos, but they are hideously expensive now.
Daisy Lane tangerine. Super sweet and small with zero seeds. Easy to peel. The perfect tangerine. Cuties are garbage compared to Daisy lanes.
Pink lady apples, Sugar Bee apples a close second. Both crisp, but SB being sweeter and a bit crunchier. Pink lady gets me with the sour though, so good.
Cara cara oranges for sure. Shower orange of choice. So juicy!!
Normal red cherries in the summer. None of that rainier stuff.
Manga nunu, the one with the little nipple at the end. So sweet…
Sindhri Mangoes
Nendran bananas
Jazz apples Tangelos Medjool Dates
Medjool Dates fresh are heavenly.
