#182This is good. We need one for mangoes as well.
(Gender joke about travel here.)
Unripened ones contain urushiol just as raw cashew nuts, raw pistachios, and poison oak do. I can't believe health and wellness sites seriously suggest eating raw, unripe mangoes.

#183Missing my favourite apple: Aurora. This is the best apple by far. Last long, taste is amazing (though maybe a bit too sweet after a while). I can't rarely find them. Does anyone know how to track down where apples are grown?
Oh! We had Aurora apples in upstate NY recently, they were wonderful. We were in Apple Valley right around Syracuse/Finger lakes region.
Can't seem to find anywhere to order them shipped though.

Re: Apple Rankings
#185I once spent a month blind taste-testing apples with my wife to compare the apples in our supermarket. We learned 4 things: 1) Most of the Honeycrisp varietals that make it to market are good (Wild Twist and Cosmic Crisp being our favorites), but… 2) The time of year makes a HUGE difference. It seems obvious when I say it, but different varietals from different farms are best in different weeks. Honeycrisp has an adv…
Point #4 is totally on point! I slice lots of apples to share with my kid and there is such an unexpected difference depending on the variety we buy. Some apples really benefit from being cut into wedges!
I agree as well, rating apples without considering the use case is a critical oversight! Kenji set the apple rating bar pretty high:

#186Just this week I ordered for my orchard of weird little apples:
Almata, Arkansas Black, Hudson’s Golden Gem, Keepsake, Northern Spy, Pipsqueak, Ribston Pippin, Roxbury Russet, St. Edmund’s Russet, Trailman, Wickson
The only one this site had was Arkansas Black, which is very mild right off the tree but sweetens in storage. They hated it. I wonder if they ate it off the tree.

#187I wish the website would recommend similar apples to ones I know about. One of you clowns surely knows ML or something, help this guy out!

#188For those who need re-assurance: > Brian Frange is a comedian and writer who has been yelling about apples for years. [...] Brian is not in the pocket of big apple and all reviews are inarguably accurate and not corrupted by corporate influence.
According to those apple ratings, he has quite the sweet tooth!

#190Earlier quoted context omitted.
I remember going to one of the local markets and asked the guy putting out the apples if the organic apples were really worth it. He immediately pulled out an organic apple (fuji if I recall correctly) and the same type, but non-organic. He cut out a slice of each apple and let me taste it. The organic apple had significantly better flavor. He explained that the drawback was that the organic apples would go bad quick…
Anecdotally, I find this to be the case with many fruits, especially citrus. I always figured that a lemon is a lemon and a lime is a lime, but after getting into cocktails and mixology, I realized that there is a night-and-day difference between high-quality fruit and the cheap stuff at your discount grocery store. This doesn't mean organic fruit is always strictly better, but I have found it to be a pretty reliable…
And god forbid you have premade line juice. Roses is the absolute worst (and people keep bringing it to make daquaris), but the extra effort for fresh juiced is worth it.
