Last week I posted a small guide to help you decipher and choose fruits based on their ripeness. I am well aware that there are more than just two fruits in the grocery store, so here are a few, or one more just in case you eat more than just bananas and watermelons.
Apples: Apples are one of the most popular fruits out there. Scientifically known as the Malus Domestica, a species apart of the Rosales order, apples are grown on trees literally everywhere. With 2,500 different types of apples grown in the United States alone, and 7,500 grown throughout the world, the versatility and variety of things you can do, and dishes you make with apples can not be matched. Much like bananas, they are very easy to tell when are good or not for purchase. It really depends on how you like your apples. Some people like them best when they are a little soft, and almost have a grainy feel when you take a bite. These are the same people that hold their nose when they jump into a pool. It’s the equivalent of eating an all brown banana, or just the orange rind. I believe apples are best when they are firm, crisp, and make a cracking sound with every bite. So when picking out apples, depending on the type, I would recommend first, looking for any bruises or dents, if none are spotted, make sure the apple is firm enough for your liking, then bag it. That’s all there is to it.
