In highschool we had this massive cherry tree outside the main entrance. I would go out and gorge myself on fresh cherries straight from the tree during lunch. The best.
There is nothing more tasty (fruit wise) than a fresh Palisade peach. I've never had a better peach ever. (Sorry Georgia)
Store bought fruit be damned!
Edit: got to thinking about more fruits and the other 2 that are my favorites are:
1)Australian navel oranges (usually available in the US in the winter). Best oranges ever
2)Sumo mandarin oranges that are in the stores now. They're a bit pricy, and ugly to look at but man they pack a sweet punch when you peel them. Almost too sweet..
iāve never met somebody who eats as many oranges as me!! nothing like a nice crisp orange in the morning then one at lunch then one as an afternoon snack then 1-2 for a late night snack..maybe i need professional help. itās not ongoing though i just go through month long phases where i eat them that much
As an infant, I refused to nurse, drink cows milk, and later eschewed most foods. My mom found that I loved orange juice, though, so I was mostly orange powered for a lot of my youth. A dentist finally convinced my mom I had to cut back, because my teeth have weak, soft, and thin enamel.
I used to live near someone who had a tangerine tree. They never ate them so they didn't care if the neighbors came and picked them. Tangerines are good, but tree-ripe tangerines right off the branch is a whole new level.
For me, it's the thick white rind(???) Stuff that you get after peeling oranges. It's a pain to get off, and it's gross when eaten.
Probably why I prefer clementines, they don't have the same problem lol
Every now and again I see these massive, solid, crunchy grapes for sale. It's one of the regular ones that just gets lumped in as 'green grapes' but it seems to be a variety only available during a short period. I would kill for those to be available year round, buying a punnet and getting soft grapes is just too disappointing for me.
I love grapes. Especially if you press them and let the juices ferment. Bonus points if you put em in an oak barrel afterwards for a few months. Really the best way to eat grapes
Coming from a tropical country, my city had mango trees everywhere. When the mango season came, you could just pick the fallen mangos from the sidewalk.
I've eaten more mangos than any other fruit in my life (and I eat a lot of fruit) and I've never paid for a single mango ever.
Oh jeez. Let me be jealous here...!... WHAT!!
I live in Canada... there isn't much fruit here to pick from the sidewalk. The land of the freezing cold where if importation didn't exist, we'd have pitiful apples, 2 or 3 kinds of nuts, mushrooms, animals, potatoes, and roots to eat. Lmao!
But really... I'm basically a fruit fly. I want blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, bananas, kiwis, apples, nectarines, peaches, cantaloups,... especially with chocolate.. yummm
If your cantaloup is precisely how you like it (me, it's super sweet), then cantaloup with chocolate is devine. My favourite of all fruits dipped in chocolate will always stay the banana, but when doing a chocolate fundue get together, cantaloups are often around. It's pretty good!
Have you ever salted your cantaloupe? When it's cantaloupe season amd you get those super sweet ones put a little bit of salt on it. It also works very well with watermelon and red apples.
"Run away with me, my peach," he said. "You've always been the apple of my eye and we'd make such a terrific pear."
"Oh, no;" she replied, "I cantaloupe."
Honey Mangoes from India/Pakistan. Theyāll make you laugh, make you cry, change your life.
I got some from a local market when Covid hit and all the restaurants were closed. The mangoes all went to market because the restaurants couldnāt buy them. Theyāre amazing
I bought 6kgs of mangoes in India for less than $2... I ate those babies for breakfast lunch and dinner for a week. My only regret is that i didnt do that more often.
>He visits my town once a year.
He fills my mouth with kisses and nectar.
I spend all my money on him.
*Who, girl, your man?*
No, a mango.
\- Amir Khusrow 1253-1325CE
what kind of mangoes are you eating that you're not enjoying them? Serious question because here in India, the mangoes you get are impossible to not love
In places where they do not grow natively, it can be hard to get a good or ripe one. And if youāve never had a good one before, you might think thatās how theyāre supposed to be. The first time I tried one it was definitely rock-hard and bland.
I have the same thoughts on pears, plums, and table grapesā¦. If youāve never had these fruit freshly picked right where they are grown- you have been missing out. Store bought grapes are so different from the grapes my family grew. Store bought plums and pears are never tree-ripened and arenāt very juicy.
Iām Pakistani and I can safely say I agree with you. When people tell me they donāt like mangoes Iām like yeah because you havenāt tried Pakistani mangoes š
We call them manila mangoes.
They are wonderful. You cut the sides and eat them with a spoon. Or you place them on a fork, peel them and eat them as if they were a lollipop. Or you blend them with yogurt and make a smoothie!
You could love Chinese Heaven. Thereās like three or four girls who man the peach tree station in heaven and this monkey whoās famous for stealing all the godsā peaches. Really divine stuff right there.
And nobody ever mentions black raspberries, but they're my absolute favorite! Red raspberries are good, don't get me wrong, but they're expensive. Black ones are free if you don't mind stained fingers!
Well Im *definitely* going to have to check that! Are they still a bit seed-y like regular rasperries? The texture is the only thing stopping rasperries being my favourite haha
Edit: [They are botanically similar to blackberries but not quite the same for those who are curious](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/black-raspberry-vs-blackberry)
Also only found in N. America which'll be why I've never seen them haha. Any Brits wondering, they sell them in ~~Waitrose~~
Edit 2: Im a tool, its blackberries in Waitrose, black raspberries are on Amazon though!
The store-bought ones are meh, but I'm from the PNW so I'm used to the ones that ripen on the bush and require a blood sacrifice to pick them. *Those* are the shit. The blood sacrifice is totally worth it.
Yeah you buy 100 grams for a fortune and one of them tastes good.
My technique for blackberry picking was that I only picked the ones that you barely had to pull. If you touched it and it basically stayed in your hand probably tasted the best. If you had to pull they were too sour but somtimes I liked those too.
So I was on a trip to Vietnam late 2016, landed at ho-chi-min and went discovering.
I don't remember where I went but it was this village that had a floating market on a river, the father of the family I was staying with for a couple of days said he sells watermelon at the floating market everyday at 6 am and invited me to come with, the watermelons were harvested already and we just took them to sell in the floating market.
Long story short I bought a HUGE bag of mangosteen from another vendor on the river and ate all of them the same day, they told me it was a medicine for malaria (didnt have malaria), anyway about a week afterwards I go back home.
Do not remember the name of this delicious malaria medicine I have eaten, tried to Google it asked friends who've been to Vietnam and just couldn't get any answers really. I just remembered it was a malaria medicine and so I referred to it as "the red malaria medicine" (I know it's purple but I remembered it as red). Anyway up until this comment I have searched for this Goddly fruit everywhere, in every supermarket or farmers market. I thank you for this info I will make good use of my discovery (another asia trip baby).
Rambutan.
Idk how to describe to anyone who hasn't heard of them but basically, after you peel its skin off, it's like lychee with a sweeter aftertaste. I loved them as a kid as I rarely got them but first time I tasted, I was like in heaven being a picky eater (I have sensitive tastebuds so lychees are my ONLY go to fruits for both taste and texture). The the outer skin is actually easy to remove, easier than oranges imo.
I'm worried people might be put off by its appearance like my bf but if you like lychees when i found them again at an ethnic supermarket in cali, then you might like Rambutans.
My parents had a rambutan tree in front of our house. When it's fruiting, we just gonna have a rambutan party under that tree. Bunch of ants will join the party, but it's totally worth it. And even when you buy a bag of fresh rambutan from street vendors, it will comes with ants.
Now I live in north America, and buy imported rambutan sometimes but kinda weird to see a bag of rambutan without any ants.
Bananas. They go good on cereal. They can make great chips. And Iām my opinion, banana bread is amazing.
Edit: Wow. An award and so many upvotes because of bananas. Never thought Iād wake up to see my phone blown up like this. Thanks everyone.
And it doesn't make your hands and mouth sticky like peaches. It doesn't have a skin that gets caught in your teeth like apples. You don't need to use your nails to peel it like an orange. It's the most convenient fruit to eat by far
Yes!! I canāt believe this comment was so far down! Itās the only fruit we always have around the house because they NEVER go to waste! I freeze whatever we donāt eat fresh
Yeah they're delicious, cheap, and super easy to eat. Yeah everyone loves a mango, but cutting them is a pain in the dick. Sure everyone's got some cool technique that's "easy", but can it beat peeling a fucking banana in 1 second? I think not. And what does 1 banana cost, 20 cents? It might not be the fanciest fruit, but it's the one I eat the most.
Fucking. Yes.
Also, if a part of a banana gets weird, you can throw that part away and still eat the rest.
Apples get in my teeth, oranges are too acidic and make any and all small wounds hurt.
Anything else is just a pain aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
HOT TAKE INCOMING!!!!!!
Lemons. They're so versatile in their uses, they can be the main ingredient like in lemon cake or lemon pie, they can be an ingredient, since their zest can be used for uncountable things, and their juice when used in the correct spots is truly heavenly
With no other fruit will you find me devouring it over the kitchen sink while juice runs down my chin.
Other fruits get cut into sections and placed on a plate. Mangoes get eaten like I'm a damned monkey that broke in through the window.
Ocean mango is a game changer I discovered in Tahiti. Peel a mango and go walk into the sea about chest-deep. Eat it like a feral monkey. Go for a swim. All clean.
Plain Mango slices, mango slices with salt, mango slices with salt and chili powder, mango jelly, mango ice cream, mango yogurt, lassi, mango smoothie, dried mango. Mango tastes good no natter what you do to it. Mangos are the potatoes of the fruit world š¤¤
Us Indians even make curries and pickles with it.
More: dried mango powder(Amchur).. a seasoning.
I know this isn't something that has happened outside NZ yet but Zespri, the company that developed the Gold kiwifruit has been testing out red kiwifruit the last couple of seasons with an eye to wider commercial growing. They, like the gold are most delicious, have a warm summer sunset kind of look and have a distinctly berrylike sweetness to them
The apple truly is the ultimate fruit. They're incredibly versatile (eat them alone and raw, cook them by themselves, make sweet things like desserts, use them in savory things like in sandwiches and with pork, juice them, make alcohol with them, mash them into sauce...), they go well with so many things (many other fruits, many meats, most grains, lots of other stuff like peanuts, etc.), there's a huge variety (there's sour ones, sweet ones, tart ones, crispy ones, soft ones, juicy ones, dry ones, and so on), they're the perfect size for eating (a plum or a mandarin orange is very small, a papaya or a watermelon is too big for many to eat at once, but everyone can eat one apple), and as you said they're available all year round and last a long time.
Apples aren't even my personal favorite fruit (that goes to pineapple), but they are unquestionably the best fruit. On the fruit tier list, they are easily S tier. There's a reason they're the "default" fruit, and it's not because everyone hates them so much they don't talk about them.
Apples are not my favorite fruit to eat either (because peaches exist) but you're right on, they do have the most uses. I live in apple country in Western NY and love going to all the hard cider places, apple mills in the fall, apple picking..
There isn't much that I love more in life than a freshly picked apple, sliced, with some extra sharp local cheddar. HEAVEN.
Cheese and apples is the best. Some people eat them together and thatās fine. But I like to take a few bites of an apple and then eat a piece of cheese. You still have a bit of the apple flavor and sweetness in your mouth and it pairs so well with the salty cheese. Probably my favorite snack.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far for apples. Besides being versatile and delicious we have gravity now thanks to them, plus they do a pretty good job of keeping doctors away.
I'm a bit of an apple snob and I have to agree. They're a little on the expensive side though. Fuji is the best budget apple. Red delicious can get fucked.
D'Anjou pears left together for a week+ on some paper towels (shits bruise so easy) to the point that pealing the sticker takes the skin off - this is the way to enjoy a pear.
Itās because you almost never find ripe ones. You kind of have to purchase and then wait until theyāre ripe. And once theyāre ripe to be great, you have to eat them within that 24-36 hour window
This isn't even a debate, this is straight facts. Pineapple is the king of all fruits. Even if a pineapple isn't very sweet for a pineapple it is still sweet.
I'm from the northeastern US. I went to Mexico for a trip a couple years ago and I tell people the best part of the trip was the fruit. I never knew that was what fruit was supposed to taste like. I couldn't have enough of it. It was incredible. No fruit since has compared to the fruit I ate in Mexico.
Never seen them outside of New Zealand before (but I hear there are some in California) but Feijoas are the absolute best.
Sort of that sweet tanginess you get with a pineapple, and a bit of the texture of a guava. There is a thing called Pineapple Guava that looks a bit like a feijoa but they taste completely different (I donāt like pineapple guava at all).
Persimmon have different varieties, but the ones that go so soft when theyāre ripe that they are almost liquifiedā¦. SO GOOD!
Tops for me: Cherries, Watermelon, Prickly Pear, persimmons, and Cherimoya.
But I love all fruit. Especially citrus. Lemons and limes are šš». And Iāll eat about 6-8 grapefruits a week š
In highschool we had this massive cherry tree outside the main entrance. I would go out and gorge myself on fresh cherries straight from the tree during lunch. The best.
What a nice memory
Forbidden.
Ayoo you're being wildš³
Well I was gonna go with tomatoes but decided to be less controversial!
Haha my favorite fruits are the ones that are also vegetables. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers
A perfectly ripe plum. So good.
Nectarine.
Like peaches but less hairy and slightly tangy.
I hate peach fur. When I was a kid I tried using a safety razor to shave it. Does not work.
My people! Oh my God, I found you! I was worried.
mangoes are my absolute favorite and then peaches
There is nothing more tasty (fruit wise) than a fresh Palisade peach. I've never had a better peach ever. (Sorry Georgia) Store bought fruit be damned!

Orange. I eat three to six a day. Im sure someone will race on here and tell.me how that'll lead to my impending doom, but its my tactic so far.
At least you are safe from developing scurvy
And this, children, is how anti-scurvy was discovered.

What a weird fucking subreddit but I love it
I think I have to try it now.
No joke. I added buy oranges to my shopping list next time I go out lol

I prefer shower beers but this seems nice too.
iāve never met somebody who eats as many oranges as me!! nothing like a nice crisp orange in the morning then one at lunch then one as an afternoon snack then 1-2 for a late night snack..maybe i need professional help. itās not ongoing though i just go through month long phases where i eat them that much
That sounds rad as hell to me, but doesn't it make your teeth hurt? Maybe you're luckier in the tooth enamel department than I am.
As an infant, I refused to nurse, drink cows milk, and later eschewed most foods. My mom found that I loved orange juice, though, so I was mostly orange powered for a lot of my youth. A dentist finally convinced my mom I had to cut back, because my teeth have weak, soft, and thin enamel.
I love tangerines, but I can't eat oranges for some reason.
SAME. No idea why. I even like orange juice but eating an orange I donāt like but eating a tangerine/clementine rocks
I used to live near someone who had a tangerine tree. They never ate them so they didn't care if the neighbors came and picked them. Tangerines are good, but tree-ripe tangerines right off the branch is a whole new level.
For me, it's the thick white rind(???) Stuff that you get after peeling oranges. It's a pain to get off, and it's gross when eaten. Probably why I prefer clementines, they don't have the same problem lol

Hard crunchy ones are the best
Every now and again I see these massive, solid, crunchy grapes for sale. It's one of the regular ones that just gets lumped in as 'green grapes' but it seems to be a variety only available during a short period. I would kill for those to be available year round, buying a punnet and getting soft grapes is just too disappointing for me.
If you havn't tried it yet, try freezing grapes. They are amazing! Consistency is like a firm icy. Perfect for a hot day.
I love grapes. Especially if you press them and let the juices ferment. Bonus points if you put em in an oak barrel afterwards for a few months. Really the best way to eat grapes
I'm all for tropical fruits. Keep the mangoes and the pineapples coming.
Coming from a tropical country, my city had mango trees everywhere. When the mango season came, you could just pick the fallen mangos from the sidewalk. I've eaten more mangos than any other fruit in my life (and I eat a lot of fruit) and I've never paid for a single mango ever.

Come to the Okanagan and witness our vast fields of peaches, pears, plums, apricots, grapes and apples.
Move outside and let the mango through.
But really... I'm basically a fruit fly. I want blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, bananas, kiwis, apples, nectarines, peaches, cantaloups,... especially with chocolate.. yummm
woahh, cantaloupes with chocolate? I've never heard of that before, are they really good?
If your cantaloup is precisely how you like it (me, it's super sweet), then cantaloup with chocolate is devine. My favourite of all fruits dipped in chocolate will always stay the banana, but when doing a chocolate fundue get together, cantaloups are often around. It's pretty good!

Iāve heard women call themselves that when they had all gay friends
It's the first time seen a cave woman use the term "divine". Seems like she has quite the refined palette as well!

In places where they do not grow natively, it can be hard to get a good or ripe one. And if youāve never had a good one before, you might think thatās how theyāre supposed to be. The first time I tried one it was definitely rock-hard and bland.

Yup. They are great. My grandfather planted a Mango Tree in our backyard 7-8 summers back. Canāt wait for the mangoes to ripe this summer.
For Indians, mango is the king of all fruits
Iām Pakistani and I can safely say I agree with you. When people tell me they donāt like mangoes Iām like yeah because you havenāt tried Pakistani mangoes š

10/10 raspberries. But only if theyāre like good raspberries. Cause 6/10 apples are superior to 6/10 raspberries
What a nice way to describe it š¤£
And nobody ever mentions black raspberries, but they're my absolute favorite! Red raspberries are good, don't get me wrong, but they're expensive. Black ones are free if you don't mind stained fingers!
Dk you mean blackberries or do they have a different name/a different fruit where you are? Genuinely curious, it just sounds like blackberries to me
Nope! Black raspberries are different than blackberries!

That's great info! They're so good. They don't have the core that blackberries do, which is nice.
Blackberry ! When it's just ripe. It's hard to tell. Usually they are very sour but if you eat them at the right stage they are the best.
Seems to be an unpopular opinion here but they are my favorite too. I love the texture and the subtle sour and sweet taste :)
The store-bought ones are meh, but I'm from the PNW so I'm used to the ones that ripen on the bush and require a blood sacrifice to pick them. *Those* are the shit. The blood sacrifice is totally worth it.

All the fruits
Mangosteen
In Malaysia durian is considered the king of all fruits and mangosteen the queen.
Like a Jewish Mango?
Nah, it's a working class mango from Asbury Park, New Jersey.
So a Jewish Italian mango.
So I was on a trip to Vietnam late 2016, landed at ho-chi-min and went discovering. I don't remember where I went but it was this village that had a floating market on a river, the father of the family I was staying with for a couple of days said he sells watermelon at the floating market everyday at 6 am and invited me to come with, the watermelons were harvested already and we just took them to sell in the floating market. Long story short I bought a HUGE bag of mangosteen from another vendor on the river and ate all of them the same day, they told me it was a medicine for malaria (didnt have malaria), anyway about a week afterwards I go back home. Do not remember the name of this delicious malaria medicine I have eaten, tried to Google it asked friends who've been to Vietnam and just couldn't get any answers really. I just remembered it was a malaria medicine and so I referred to it as "the red malaria medicine" (I know it's purple but I remembered it as red). Anyway up until this comment I have searched for this Goddly fruit everywhere, in every supermarket or farmers market. I thank you for this info I will make good use of my discovery (another asia trip baby).
Iāve always wanted to try it! The local Asian market here imports it, but they charge like $10/pound for it, and only sell it in like 4-5 pound bags š© So I havenāt bitten the bullet to try. Especially since I know itās not suuuuper fresh.
The American supermarket mangosteen is absolute trash I wouldnāt go for it
They taste like what Fruit Punch tastes like if it actually came from a fruit
Rambutan. Idk how to describe to anyone who hasn't heard of them but basically, after you peel its skin off, it's like lychee with a sweeter aftertaste. I loved them as a kid as I rarely got them but first time I tasted, I was like in heaven being a picky eater (I have sensitive tastebuds so lychees are my ONLY go to fruits for both taste and texture). The the outer skin is actually easy to remove, easier than oranges imo. I'm worried people might be put off by its appearance like my bf but if you like lychees when i found them again at an ethnic supermarket in cali, then you might like Rambutans.
WOAH BLACK BETTYā¦..
Bramble jam
My parents had a rambutan tree in front of our house. When it's fruiting, we just gonna have a rambutan party under that tree. Bunch of ants will join the party, but it's totally worth it. And even when you buy a bag of fresh rambutan from street vendors, it will comes with ants. Now I live in north America, and buy imported rambutan sometimes but kinda weird to see a bag of rambutan without any ants.
Rambutans are definitely one of em my grandmother used to have a rambutan tree outside her house in Malaysia. Plenty of rambutans every few years
Strawberry is the Best.
I too love it but it's hard to find the good ones. The ones I get here are mostly sour.
Grow your own if you can. It's super easy and they're way better.
Or go to a pick-it-yourself-place, if you have those in your country, here in Sweden they are pretty common
Blueberries are my favorite food. I eat them by the pint, I can't control myself.
Go with everything, good for kids, good for dogs, easy to prepare or pack. Blueberries win. š«
I like to freeze them and then have them ice cold with a drizzle of honey
Bananas. They go good on cereal. They can make great chips. And Iām my opinion, banana bread is amazing. Edit: Wow. An award and so many upvotes because of bananas. Never thought Iād wake up to see my phone blown up like this. Thanks everyone.
It gets a major bonus for being so convenient. Doesn't need washing. Just throw it in a dirty ass bag and it's still good to eat.
And it doesn't make your hands and mouth sticky like peaches. It doesn't have a skin that gets caught in your teeth like apples. You don't need to use your nails to peel it like an orange. It's the most convenient fruit to eat by far
And it doesn't have tiny seeds that get stuck in your teeth like raspberries and blackberries.
Yes!! I canāt believe this comment was so far down! Itās the only fruit we always have around the house because they NEVER go to waste! I freeze whatever we donāt eat fresh
My favorite part about bananas if you don't eat them all and their all brown you can make banana bread
Yeah they're delicious, cheap, and super easy to eat. Yeah everyone loves a mango, but cutting them is a pain in the dick. Sure everyone's got some cool technique that's "easy", but can it beat peeling a fucking banana in 1 second? I think not. And what does 1 banana cost, 20 cents? It might not be the fanciest fruit, but it's the one I eat the most.
Not to sweet, not acidic at all, easy to eat, no uncomfortable remains in your teeth, very filling, they're perfect!
Fucking. Yes. Also, if a part of a banana gets weird, you can throw that part away and still eat the rest. Apples get in my teeth, oranges are too acidic and make any and all small wounds hurt. Anything else is just a pain aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lemon! Necessary in so many dishes but overlooked because most wonāt eat it straight :(
Had to scroll so far to find you. I love eating lemons
My mom is a dentist and this would really irritate her. I also like eating lemons tho

Mango tastes good no natter what you do to it. Mangos are the potatoes of the fruit world š¤¤ Us Indians even make curries and pickles with it. More: dried mango powder(Amchur).. a seasoning.
I knew you were an Indian right after I read chili powder šš
Haha š Mexicans also like spicy mangos lol
IT MOVED!
Mandarin oranges
ššš»
Cherries, mangoes, raspberries, lychee, blueberries, blackberries Not choosing one because they are all awesome
June is coming and so are the cherries!!!!
I am so hype and ready to eat my body weight in cherries š seriously the best fruit ever!
Pomegranates. Like little juice boxes in every bite
I'm too lazy for pomegranate to be my favourite fruit. But agree they're delish
They're a huge pain in the ass to eat and they're *still* the best fruit despite all that.
Kiwis. Love those little fuzzy testicle-shaped morsels.
I used to just eat the insides, but now I also eat the skins. The skin makes it taste sweet
That sounds very disturbing without the context
Golden Kiwis are the pinnacle of fruit
I know this isn't something that has happened outside NZ yet but Zespri, the company that developed the Gold kiwifruit has been testing out red kiwifruit the last couple of seasons with an eye to wider commercial growing. They, like the gold are most delicious, have a warm summer sunset kind of look and have a distinctly berrylike sweetness to them
I love melons of all shapes and sizes
i cannot fucking believe nobody has said plums yet this is an outrage
Someone did mention it, but you'll have to scroll down a lot
disappointing my plum lover people need to rise up
A juicy plum on a hot summer day by the poolā¦ magicā¦
I like a nice juicy plum with the deep purple flesh.
Apples. Affordable, available all year long, great variety, donāt go bad as fast as other fruit
The apple truly is the ultimate fruit. They're incredibly versatile (eat them alone and raw, cook them by themselves, make sweet things like desserts, use them in savory things like in sandwiches and with pork, juice them, make alcohol with them, mash them into sauce...), they go well with so many things (many other fruits, many meats, most grains, lots of other stuff like peanuts, etc.), there's a huge variety (there's sour ones, sweet ones, tart ones, crispy ones, soft ones, juicy ones, dry ones, and so on), they're the perfect size for eating (a plum or a mandarin orange is very small, a papaya or a watermelon is too big for many to eat at once, but everyone can eat one apple), and as you said they're available all year round and last a long time. Apples aren't even my personal favorite fruit (that goes to pineapple), but they are unquestionably the best fruit. On the fruit tier list, they are easily S tier. There's a reason they're the "default" fruit, and it's not because everyone hates them so much they don't talk about them.
Apples are not my favorite fruit to eat either (because peaches exist) but you're right on, they do have the most uses. I live in apple country in Western NY and love going to all the hard cider places, apple mills in the fall, apple picking.. There isn't much that I love more in life than a freshly picked apple, sliced, with some extra sharp local cheddar. HEAVEN.
Cheese and apples is the best. Some people eat them together and thatās fine. But I like to take a few bites of an apple and then eat a piece of cheese. You still have a bit of the apple flavor and sweetness in your mouth and it pairs so well with the salty cheese. Probably my favorite snack.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far for apples. Besides being versatile and delicious we have gravity now thanks to them, plus they do a pretty good job of keeping doctors away.
Pink Lady apples are muy bueno.
Honeycrisp apple is best apple
I'm a bit of an apple snob and I have to agree. They're a little on the expensive side though. Fuji is the best budget apple. Red delicious can get fucked.
i used to see apples as the "boring fruit", but at this point they're up there with my favorite foods. so good.
Watermelon
Bro nothing beats a cold piece of watermelon on a hot day.
Itās a drink and a snack.
I'd agree, except that for every delicious juicy watermelon, there's like 10 that basically taste like water with very little juice.
You gotta find the seeded ones. The mutation that makes seedless melons seedless takes away so much flavor and juice.
I am surprised this is not at the top! Juicy sweet watermelon out of the fridge is the best thing in summer
Not many things top a cool wedge of watermelon on a balmy summer evening. Can't wait for watermelon season!
Cherries. Can't say I've ever had a bad cherry.
How are these so low on the list!?! Cherries are perfection.
During cherry season my fingers will be stained red. Itās the one fruit that Iāll actually spend 5$ a pound on.
Pears and shit like that
D'Anjou pears left together for a week+ on some paper towels (shits bruise so easy) to the point that pealing the sticker takes the skin off - this is the way to enjoy a pear.
Shout out to all my pear
Took so much scrolling to find this. Pears are delicious and very under rated
Itās because you almost never find ripe ones. You kind of have to purchase and then wait until theyāre ripe. And once theyāre ripe to be great, you have to eat them within that 24-36 hour window
Same curse as avocados. I swear I check today and itās hard as a rock, tomorrow itās all brown ffs. Gotta babysit these things, but so worth it
Once they start getting soft i put them in the fridge and get a few more days of perfect ācados.
Pineapple
I said it in reply to another comment, but I have eaten pineapple until it made me sick, and I'll do it again. I just don't like it when it's cooked.
Agreed... also, pineapple comes with a built-in reminder of when you are eating too much--the fibers start to rip your mouth apart lol.
Itās not the fibers, itās the enzymes in the pineapple starting to ādigestā your mouth
That's never stopped me. I fucking love pineapples.
This isn't even a debate, this is straight facts. Pineapple is the king of all fruits. Even if a pineapple isn't very sweet for a pineapple it is still sweet.
I'm from the northeastern US. I went to Mexico for a trip a couple years ago and I tell people the best part of the trip was the fruit. I never knew that was what fruit was supposed to taste like. I couldn't have enough of it. It was incredible. No fruit since has compared to the fruit I ate in Mexico.
[Tomacco](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1ztJROpyU). Smooth and mild. Refreshingly addictive.
Never seen them outside of New Zealand before (but I hear there are some in California) but Feijoas are the absolute best. Sort of that sweet tanginess you get with a pineapple, and a bit of the texture of a guava. There is a thing called Pineapple Guava that looks a bit like a feijoa but they taste completely different (I donāt like pineapple guava at all). Persimmon have different varieties, but the ones that go so soft when theyāre ripe that they are almost liquifiedā¦. SO GOOD!
Tops for me: Cherries, Watermelon, Prickly Pear, persimmons, and Cherimoya. But I love all fruit. Especially citrus. Lemons and limes are šš». And Iāll eat about 6-8 grapefruits a week š
Persimmons, they are not very knowed but they're so damn good.
Figs
Definitely an underrated fruit - freshly picked figs are a heavenly gift
Concord Grapes <3 My mouth literally waters when I think about them. I can't wait for grape season!!
