If you can get you...Anon, thank you for your note.<br /><br />If you can get your fruit direct from the growers, you have an edge over most of the rest of us this time of year.<br /><br />Sad to say Pacific Rose does not even seem to be available in New England any more, though you can buy them in Asia.<br /><br />By all means revel in whatever goodness the place where you live has to offer. And enjoy exploring the world of apples!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-16431387263985473962015-03-07T17:26:55.173-05:002015-03-07T17:26:55.173-05:00Thank you for doing this.

Now I live with my aunt, and she only buys Honeycrisp. Only this past month did I start venturing out and trying new varieties... and what can I say, I'm obsessed. What a glorious fruit! I live in some prime apple territory, Spokane, WA, with plenty of orchards and farms around to seek out. I'm excited. For now I'm simply trying the store varieties, my favorites so far being Fuji, Pacific Rose, and Cameo. Cheers.

Thanks for ...Wow, what a great experiment/project! Thanks for sharing your data. It's interesting to me that out of your top 15 most consumed apples, I've only seen three of those in a grocery store. I live in Utah and we don't have as many farmer's markets as some other places but hopefully they have more variety. I'm curious if you could estimate what percentage of the total 484 were purchased at a grocery store versus a farmer's market, orchard, or self grown.MattGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764169371605417000noreply@blogger.com
