the apple chronicles, volume 2

the fuji apple

fuji apple

today, i am trying the fuji apple. i have never had one of these before so i am looking forward to it. i got this one at food lion along with the pink lady i tried yesterday. the sticker on the fuji apple reads “lg. #4131 - washington - produce of the u.s.a.”. the color of this one is mostly red with a bit of yellow and green splattered around. it feels pretty firm, but as we saw with the pink lady, this could be deceiving. well, i am off to rinse it and give it a go.

(…rinsing it and giving it a go…)

wow. delicious! when i took my first bite, it felt like the skin popped as my teeth broke through. But the inside, instead of being crunchy like i was expecting, is surprisingly, well uncrunchy, i guess. it is insanely sweet and juicy as all get-out. i have to keep wiping my hands because the juice is running down my fingers. what a messy son-of-a-gun i am! i just took a bite and juice from the apple literally flew away from my face! so, the fuji apple gets a 4.0 on the awesome apple scale. i would rate it higher, but as i am finishing it, my throat is feeling a little, i don’t know, weird, i guess. i think it is safe to say that this apple is a bit too sweet, although i am sure i will buy more of these.

Next time you go to the store you have to buy a gala apple. These are the best, but be sure to pick one that feels firm and has a shinny peel. I love the apple rating scale. Super funny!
