Blueberries are better in every way.

>>19490753
for me, it's the simple pear, the best of all the fruits

>>19490778
>blueberries
>not raspberries

>>19490753
*gets apple peel stuck between my teeth*

Grapes are objectively the best fruit

>>19490753
I like how convenient apples are, just rinse them under water and they're ready to go, and they stay good for weeks or even months. Gala apples are shit though, I like Pink Lady.
Cherries are great, but bit expensive. I pluck the stems out and wash them in batches of a few cups. The only downside is you need a cup for spitting pits.
Pineapples good, but a pain in the ass to prepare,
Red grapes are also really good when they are nice and firm, but they can sometimes get mushy
Strawberries can be good, but are a bit hit or miss, and mold or get mushy quick, plus carving the stems out is a pain.
Blueberries are extremely hit or miss. The US ones tend to be flavorless and mushy, the ones from Mexico/South America tend to be a lot crisper and more flavorful. A bad blueberry is terrible and only good for recipes, but they are top tier when you find a good batch.
raspberries are shit
watermelon is flavorless shit.
blackberries are mediocre
pears are shit
Mangoes are terrible; nasty texture
bananas are good in recipes but can't eat them whole as they taste like baby food
oranges are okay, but too messy and too much work.

i like how it's nature's way of checking your dental health. you'll see blood in the apple if you have gingivitis.

>apple
>literally nothing but sugar
>provides basically nothing beyond an insane amount of sugar
>I'M HEALTHY BECAUSE I EAT APPLES
>Apples are healthy because they provide sugar in a healthy way! - science (healthy because it has 1% of a few things you get from almost anything else you eat or drink anyway and some fiber)

Fruit is a scam. Vegetables are too. Both were the first step in eat ze bugs because they've got you eating ze plants.

>>19491498
>Fruit is a scam. Vegetables are too.

it's better than eating twinkies or ho-ho's. it's nature's sugar.

>>19491518
How about you just don't eat either one, retard? Sugar is sugar, it isn't magically less bad for you because it's in nature, what kind of retard cope is that? Hell, it destroys your teeth just as bad as shoving twinkies and soda in your mouth too depending on how many apples you eat; one medium sized apple amounts to half the sugar of a full can of soda. Two apples and you're as fucked as if you drink a can a day. B-B-B-BUT IT'S BETTER THAN DRINKING SODA okay and? How about don't do either.

>LE SUGAR IS BAD EVEN IF IT'S FROM NATURE!!!
No, you're just fat ketolard. Drop some pounds and you'll see your insulin resistance improve.

>>19490849
Pears are good. Asian pears are godly infact. Mango is high tier as well. Think of the pairings!

>>19491677
This guy knows what's up

>>19490753
Saying apples are your favourite fruit is like saying sedans are your favourite car.

>>19493505
Sedans are pretty based

For me it's the green bananas, you know. The underage ones :)

So firm and fresh.

I love apple pie ala mode on a hot day with sharp cheddar cheese

>>19492705

I like apple cider, like the real stuff

>>19490753
Apricots, sweet sweet apricots

>>19496759
apricots are for faggots

>>19490753
You're my favorite fruit, OP. Or avocados.

>>19490753
granny smith are superior

>>19495019
Yeah but you want them to grow and develop a little more before taking a bite. At least I do. Still green but bigger than a finger

>>19490753
Apples have literally no nutritional value except fiber, and they taste mediocre. Best fruits are berries, peaches, plums, apricots, bananas

>>19497052
plums are for faggots

>>19497059
I’m sorry that you have a shit palate, anon

>>19490821
maybe if you're a wino

>>19497052
No one eats berries on their own though unless dried because their texture sucks

There can only be one best fruit. And it is the PEACH

>>19498155
i do

the most metal fruit, literally makes the weak bleed

>>19490821
I agree. One of the best snacks. I like the red ones

Hopefully your whole family (anime pillows) are in that car with you.

>>19490849
you can eat strawberry stems and leaves

>>19490753
Based applechad, for me it's Pink Lady, it's like a gala apple but improved in every way, it's all I eat, besides Granny Smith, which I find better for recipes, fuck Fuji apples, it's Japan's worst crime since the Unit 731

>>19500936
sure if you want to turn into a strawberry

>>19490801
do you not floss?

>>19498155

>>19504715
macintosh is the best apple

>>19507382
false

>>19507403
but it is delicious try it if you have not

I don't eat fruits anymore since I picked up root vegetables and cabbages. No need to.

>>19505752
yeah its like strains of weed

>>19490784
Appleposters WILL NOT recover from this.

Mango is the perfect fruit

>>19490784
Pears are apples for women

>>19490784
Williams pear is unrivalled.

do we like mandarins or common oranges or some other kind bros??

>>19508173
Tangerines are divine, probably the actual forbidden fruit. Oranges are nice but some varieties have too much water and too little flavor.

>>19508173
Mandarin orange is incredible

>>19507605
>Williams pear

>>19490753
It's not the season yet for apples.That's more like late September going into October, then I don't know. The place Cider Mill is maybe closed and pisses me off.

I just tried nectarines for the first time. How can something so delicious be healthy?

>>19510473
You need to moderate or it can be unhealthy. Highly acidic and sugary.

>>19510473
Try some plums too, those are pretty good.

>>19490753
Based.
I cut most processed sugary food out of my diet and lost 30kg this year.
Apples are my go-to when I want something sweet now.

>>19510473
>I just tried nectarines for the first time
wtf? where are you from?

>>19510528
I just never ate fruits except occasional apple or banana. Now I have converted from a shit diet to a healthy one and I keep trying new things.

>>19510528
>>19510539
eg. a sprouting station with 10 jars going at a time. I mix it with chicken breast, turmeric/black pepper, and EEVO

>>19510539
>>19510544
nice bro. fruit is incredible and with the proper ripeness unrivalled. the you discover the different cultivars, it's not just an apple but a Jonagold. picrel is best apricot.

>>19490753
A good apple is great but most are just meh. Also, granny smith is the best cultivar.

>>19491498
>falling EU gay propaganda that all sugar is LE BAD
>he doesn't know that an apple a day keeps a doctor away

>>19491498
Get the fuck outta here.

>>19510607
What do the ramblings of that ketoschizzo have to do with EU?

>>19504937
cosmic crisps CAN be excellent, if they haven't spent months in cold storage. if they're older, they lose most of their flavor.

>>19490753
This but the green ones

>>19503459
for me, it's gotta be Fuji.

>get bartlett pears in season
>wait until super ripe
>so sweet and juicy and fragrant
>still have grit near the center that's like chewing on sand
why

are there any pears with no grit?

>>19513173
BASED. Other fruit fags will never win against mango. People only hate on mango because of the stringiness but that is solved by avoiding the seed dumbasses. Idiot literally suck on the seed and wonder why shit gets stuck in their teeth

>>19510473
Because it's what God gave humans to eat first, before grains and animals. It's our natural food.

>>19503459
>mcintosh worst for eating fresh
I thought they had the best texture for that. I like them being a little softer. I've read they're not as good for cooking because they break down more easily too. But it seems like there's always conflicting information on apples about this stuff.

>>19513183
you're supposed to wait until super ripe THEN harvest

>>19507572
>be pear
>shaped like testicle
>be apple
>shaped like buttocks
My logic cannot be beat.

>Threw away a rotten apple the other day
>A piece of me dies
I will never be the same

Gala apple > all

>>19490784
I bought 4 pears the other day. Ate two. Completely tasteless. Nothing like apples at all. Threw away the remaining two. Will never try them again.

>>19516646
What kind of pear? Did you wait until it was soft near the stem or did you eat it underripe?

>>19516664
I don't remember. They were 75% green and 25% red and I waited a couple days before eating them.

>>19490753
I think you're missing something...

>>19492705
Do they taste like gasoline?

>>19513187
>stringiness
Only an issue with below average cultivars.
I get pulpy, juicy mangoes with a rich taste grown locally.

>>19490784
Homo

Junami (Milwa)(Diwa) anybody?

Pears > apples

>>19490753
Galas don’t do anything for me. Mcintosh is the king of apple varieties.

>>19490753
How's the weather over in tel avapple, chaim?

>>19490753
I absolutely like the green ones, sour. Every other ones..... Nope.

persimmon is my favorite! hard to find around here but when i do i scrump em!

>>19490753
I haven't eaten fruits in 10 years I hate the smarsky and squirshk taste. I get everything from my normal diet.

>>19519553
it's good to know, me personally i'm happy for you. i also enjoy me some nice apple themed desserts.

fruit is all artificially selected candy. nothing natural or healthy about any of its varieties.

>>19519688
Unless you only eat hunted and foraged food, everything you eat has been artificially selected. Modern junk food being full of refined sugar doesn't mean fruit is bad.

>>19519553
The game is over you alien fuck! You'll never assimilate into our networks!

apples suck

>>19491476
>natures way
Without human intervention apples aren't edible THOUGH

>not pear

me like

>>19508233
Those are good without a doubt but not as good as clementines.

For me, it's one of these (in order):
>wild grapes (especially muscadines / scuppernongs)
>wild blackberries / raspberries / dewberries / mulberries
>wild blueberries / cranberries
>crabapples
>sumac

>>19520628
To add:
wild cherries, tupelo, inkberry, hawthorn, and other species are decent for cooking, but when I'm foraging, I'm looking for fresh food usually.

>>19492686
Soursop, persimmon, and pawpaw are also top tier. Not my go-to forages though.

>>19498795
Excellent for marinating tough meat, but I can't find it in the wild here.

>>19503459
>McIntosh
>not fresh
Lmao what a retard.

>>19507605
Good for brewing perry.

>>19497052
I kneel, apples are inferior pound for pound vs every other fruit's major quality; choosing the banana, my own favourite due to sheer utilitarianism, is based.

>>19520667
>banana
>due to sheer utilitarianism

>>19490778
Bluburrees

>>19519693
i didn't say it hadn't but fruit has exclusively been selected OTT to enhance those specific qualities.

>>19490753
I enjoy them

Bought 2kg of nectarines for $5 (holy shit), but they're unripe and taste and have the consistency of an apple. Leaving them on the counter for a few days and then I'll have 4x healthy desserts

>>19521262
paper bag with one banana

thank me later anon when you're eating nectarines so juicy it's dripping off your elbows

apples are shit but I LOVE cider
