Picking the Best Apples at the Market

Depending on the season and your location, certain fruits can be quite costly. Get quality fruits, by picking the best fruits possible. It’s always a good idea to get more for your money!

Apples are often a regular at my household’s fruit basket. They’re great for on-the-go snack ideas and taste wonderful with various simple dips. Here are some tips for picking the best apples during your next trip to the market:

• Grip your hand around a Red Delicious apple and try to make an indent with your thumb.

• Notice if the flesh under the skin of the apple creates a “crunch” sound. If that’s the case, the apple is good enough to take home with you!

• Yellow Delicious apples tend to have more of a softer and springier feel, so just get a good squeeze when picking out these apples.

• For Granny Smith, Pink Lady and Brae Burn apples, the crispier and more firm the apple is, the more savory the flavor.
