  You’re buying shitty apples.

    All depends on the time of the year. Apples are routinely stored in cold storage. It’s why we can get them year round.

      If they’re mealy, you’re probably buying Red Delicious, a horrible mainstream cultivar that are known for that. I’ve never tasted another apple with that awful texture. You could probably try some other varieties and not have that problem.

        Red delicious is what we normally get. I find them disgusting.
