Pink Lady apples. Perfect balance of sweet and tart for me.
Came here to say this! Beautifully crisp too. I hate most red apples for how soft they can be and how grainy they can feel sometimes. Maybe I’ve had ones at the wrong side of ripe, but pink ladies are the perfect hybrid of green and red. I used to love Macintoshes for this but pink ladies are much better
A few years ago, I was in Asia for the first time. On a ship in Malaysia, to be specific. I was chitchatting with a Malaysian coworker before our shift started, and on our way out I grabbed a nice looking fruit on my way out of the galley. I took a bite, and it was like nothing I’d ever tasted before, so of course I had to ask what kind of fruit it was.
“Uh… a pear?” My coworker replied, surprised that I had to ask. To me pears are green, and has a completely different texture. I never knew yellow ones existed until then.
I’m from Indonesia and it’s common to see distinctively different kind of pears. There are pears that are significantly yellow even when ripe, they are also more round-shaped than the usual pear-shaped pear.
Sometimes they can be more crunchy like apple.
Tbh I don’t know the exact name, I just called them “yellow pear.”
Ambrosia apples (the big ripe ones, not the small ones that I could swear are counterfeit Gala).
Ataulfo mangoes. Yellow. Small. Delicious.
Spanish mandarin oranges. Easy to peel, delicious. Other oranges can’t hold shade to this one.
Forelle pears. Fragrant, juicy… Bartlett pears will seem like cardboard after having these.
Sungold kiwi. Not only are they sweet, but the skin is thinner and has no hairs, so you can just wash them and eat them whole.
Fuji apples
Care Care oranges
Largish yellow raisins. I like them in oatmeal cookies and with mixed nuts cooked in a nice long grain rice with some saffron.
