🍏 Our marketing director, Eric Patrick revisited his #30DaysofApples, which he first kickstarted back in December 2021. This time, he dove in earlier to explore some apples he missed last time, including the delicious Rave, which was the first club variety he saw this year. He also delayed posting until the official 2023 debut of Cosmic Crisp on December 1st & made sure he was only trying 'new crop' apples. He added some East Coast apples from IFPA’s Global Produce & Floral Show in October. Out of 30 apples tasted, 9 were unique to this round.
🌎 In his previous round, Cosmic Crisp stole the spotlight, winning over his daughter & grandson. This time, the stage broadened with club varieties like Envy, Rave, SweeTango (his brother mentioned he’s been enjoying this fall), Kanzi, Hunnyz, Juici, SnapDragon, Kiku, SugarBee and EverCrisp satisfying his palate. Each brings its own flavor profile & he found some complexity & loves the crispness/crunch. Some are sweeter, while others offer a touch of tartness. The yellow Opal stands out on stands. He does enjoy those Rockits. Sweet & perfectly sized for his grandsons.
🍎 He wanted to try East Coast classics like McIntosh & Cortland & did so at the #gpfs2023 in Anaheim, reminding him of his high school days working at Schmidt’s Produce on Long Island. He made sure to try Macoun, as several recommended it last time. Good flavor, skin was uber thin & he could see why recommended, but get them at their freshest. SnapDragon emerged as a fav from this region & McIntosh was one of the apples he grew up with & still gets a hankering for at times - in fact, we have been bringing some to the West coast.
🎉 Biggest surprise? The Lemonade apple was new to him, he thought it had a crisp sweetness & he couldn't help but detect a hint of lemonade flavor. Another surprise was Lucy Glo, a red-fleshed apple, which he found more enjoyable & sweeter than his previous encounter. It reaffirms that apple flavors vary based on the season and handling. Both are excellent conversation starters at gatherings.
🌳 He sourced many farm-fresh varieties from Fruit City in Union Gap, WA. He tried many varieties from there including the traditional (fuji, gala, Granny, goldens & honeycrisp), plus Sunrise Magic, Crimson Crisp & Lucy Glo. If you're lucky to have a great fruit stand nearby with a passionate team, it's a treat. JR, one of owners, always had tips like, 'Eric, try these honeycrisps this week; they're delicious!'
🛒 Managing the apple options can be a challenge. Trusting your favorite produce departments, ones that rotate their fruit, eliminate the 'bad' apples, & display the freshest produce is key. He noted that produce managers are often happy to cut samples for you.
👉 His usual cost-conscious approach took a turn with many club varieties showing up at more competitive prices than expected, especially compared to the last time he did this exercise. In fact, one time, he found three major new club varieties promoted under $1.50 per pound, while honeycrisps were over $3.00 per lb.
🍎Any favorite apple discoveries for yourself this season? Suggestions?
