Bananas. 30 minutes later it's "hello fibre and potassium, time to visit the loo!" But seriously, there are so many great fruits.
Some from me: Blackberries are my hands-down favourite (and available everywhere in the wild in the UK autumn), raspberries, apples (so many varieties), navel oranges, mandarins, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, rockmelon/cantaloupe, soft peaches (rare; most need a hammer and chisel), plums, damsons (in jam), and grapes.
I suppose I am a basic bitch - Honeycrisp apples, Mission figs (fresh), haas avocados and the wee golden Champagne mangoes are the best IMO.
Oranges, though? Valencia or tangelos are flavorful, the navel oranges are bland nonsense.
Daisy Lane tangerine. Super sweet and small with zero seeds. Easy to peel. The perfect tangerine. Cuties are garbage compared to Daisy lanes.
Pink lady apples, Sugar Bee apples a close second. Both crisp, but SB being sweeter and a bit crunchier. Pink lady gets me with the sour though, so good.
Cara cara oranges for sure. Shower orange of choice. So juicy!!
Normal red cherries in the summer. None of that rainier stuff.
Manga nunu, the one with the little nipple at the end. So sweet.....
Fuji apples when I make apple cobbler.
For just sitting there eating peanut butter on an apple, a honeycrisp. I used to go for Galas because they were cheap, but lately I decided $1 more per pound of apples is better than occasionally eating a dozen donuts when I want something sweet. Overall, just better to spend more money on healthier food than to absolutely optimize my grocery budget then binge on junk food when the optimization freaks me out.
Zamli dates. Jazz Apple. Pink lady apple.
Pink lady is my favorite apple ever. Crisp, sweet, sour. Perfection. I eat them almost every day.
I love Jazz apples but pink lady never grew on me. They are like polar opposites, I think.
del Monte gold pineapple. I bought it when they were out of my regular canned pineapple and now I can't go back
We get these fresh here, and wow I agree, these are so sweet and flavorful. Even if they don't look as ripe as the other ones they taste better, you can smell them when you approach the display.
I mix the juice with seltzer water
What color pineapple were you eating before?
del Monte gold is a specific strain of pineapple. there are over a hundred varieties
Cara cara oranges. Honey crisp apples. Alphonso mangos. Vidalia onions (not a fruit tho)
Cara cara oranges are so special and yummy.
Sweetango apples and sumo mandarin oranges. Sweetangos are the better honey crisp.
Lychee fruit is wonderful. Also pomelos, but they are hideously expensive now.
Sindhri Mangoes
Nendran bananas
Hummi Klettertoni strawberries taste great and grow well on my balcony garden.
Ojai pixie tangerines are amazing. Sweet, juicy, easy to peel, not too much pith, and a wonderful flavor. Every year when they're in season, I go nuts eating them.
Ataulfo mangoes. At least in the northeast US, they are reliably delicious and ripen on the counter.
Cortland apples
Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?
You can eat the green ones without peeling.
Granny Smith apples. They have intense flavor and solid crispness, unlike other variety vaguely sweet mushy apples. Most importantly, they’re still good out of season.
Every year I go wild with variety for 1-2 month, then return to Grannies for the rest of the year
Absolutely. Love Granny Smith.
Kanzi or Jazz apples.
Jazz apples are my favorite too!
Sugar Bee and Rockit apples!
I like cosmic crisp apples.
Same. They've replaced Pink Ladies as my favorite. The texture and perfect amount of sweetness make them such a joy!
Golden Kiwis, not only can you eat the skin, it makes it delicious.
I eat the skin of regular kiwi's. Am I not supposed to?
You can, I just find the skin on golden ones way more enjoyable
Hmm. I think I may have to try a golden one.
You can, but many people prefer not to.
Honeycrisp for apples. I use to have a type of clementine, but in my memory problems, I've forgotten so probably any of those now!
Man clementines are just fun to have for a snack.
Pink Lady apples or bust
I bust for the pink lady
Fuji or Pink Lady for red apples, Mutsu (aka. Crispin) for green apples. Jonagolds split the difference.
Jazz apples Tangelos Medjool Dates
Medjool Dates fresh are heavenly.
