Best Apple

[Dickie Dunn]

More people need to get on the opal train, though I’ve only ever seen them at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and only one orchard in the country grows the damn things.

This apple has a soft yet crisp, cream-colored flesh with a sweet taste and a slightly tart finish. The taste has been compared to the Honey Crisp, with hints of pear, coconut, and banana. Opal apples generally look more like their Topaz parent, but owe their sweet flavor and crisp texture to the Golden Delicious.

Opal apples won't brown after cutting. So an Opal a day will keep your salads - and your kids' lunchboxes - crisp and fresh!

Seems elitist and racist

Ever had a Cosmic Crisp? Washington State University just started selling them at the end of last year after twenty years of R&D. Best. Apple. Ever.
