How many varieties of apples do you suppose there are? Ten? Twenty? Wouldn't you be surprised to learn that there are over a 100 apple varieties grown in the US?!?!?! I was surprised. Maybe it's just because I'm not a big fruit eater? Really, did you know that there were so many? When I was a kid, there were red apples and green apples. That was pretty much it.
Now there are; McIntosh, Fuji, Red Delicious, Gala, Crispin, Braeburn, Honey Crisp, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Empire, Golden Delicious, Cameo, Jazz, Macoun, Ambrosia, Paula Red, Cripps Pink, Cortland, Liberty, Rome, Pink Pearl, Arkansas Black, Winesap, Northern Spy, Melba, Opal, Sweet Tango, Goldspur and tons more!
Yesterday I bought a lemonade apple. Just because. It wasn't lemony. But it was a little tart and very crisp. Maybe I could eat more apples.
