Are Red Delicious the worst kind of apples?
- Thread starter FernandoRocker
- Start date
I also grew up in orchard country and it's why I can't stand them.
I now have problems with supermaket apples in general, but Red Delicious taste like crap fresh off the tree!
...also noticed this past fall that the orchard we went to had re-named them "Red Chief". I can only assume to avoid the stigma and trick people into buying them. Anyone else come across this?
Wish I could but those apples are extremely localized and now I wouldn't go exploring grocery stores for them if ya paid me.
Maybe one day...
it was only in past few years that i actually realized just how many damn different apples there are. its out right ridiculous. i cant (read: wont) try them all. but ive been buying honeycrisp for the house. cant speak on delicious red because i dont even remember the last time i had one.
The internet has made us so stupid collectively that people don't know how to write or talk anymore without using absolutes.
If something is not your favorite or the absolute best it has to be the worst.
Honeycrisp are the absolute king of apples. Huge, nice blend of tartness and sweetness, and crispy and juicy as fuck.
Pink lady are great, too.

Cosmic Crisp is god tier. Food science has made the best apple ever. They keep forever, taste tart and sweet at the same time. I like in WA and have been exclusively buying them over anything else because of just how much better they are than even Braeburns or Honeycrisps, my previous favorite.
Red Delicious is like green peppers-just a much worse version of other products sitting next to it in grocery stores, with the only benefit being they are slightly cheaper.
Not real educated what different apples are called but I guess Granny smith for me, I like green tart apples.
Worst apples are those dry ones with the weird inside texture that is almost sandy.

Yes, OP, you are right, followed somewhere by granny smith.
honeycrisp is my favorite to eat. I like Fuji apples but they're not native / grown normally around me, and we're in a big apple zone so I go for the local ones usually. And Courtland for baking.

I think so, yeah.
Opal apples are my current favorite. Try those if you like honeycrisp as well.

Oh shit.
Did we just commit murder by not overreacting?
Damn I gotta work on my alibi...
I'd be willing to bet money that someone has killed someone else over a Red Delicious apple.
I don't like red delicious apples.
Pink lady, honeycrisp, and granny Smith are my go tos. But there is a new one out there, rave apples, and they are the best. It's a crossbreed of honeycrisp and something else and it's so good.
So all you pink lady and honeycrisp people, try the rave apple, you won't regret it.
