disapproved; neither as firm nor as flavorful as their red counterparts



i mean, green grapes can definitely be really firm. depends on the time of year, the brand, and thus the farm they came from. i try to only buy them if they're on sale and they're nice and firm and adequately tart (definitely not into green grapes for sweetness)

btw, i've found that for sweet grapes, black ones are actually better than red

idk how i forgot bananas lmao

grapefruit and pomelos are pretty darn good too but i'm not a big enough fan for em to be on my list

i only like some apples, namely tart ones like granny smith and pink lady

my store once got two jackfruit in. they were fucking massive and were $10 a piece. one was like the size of a typical watermelon and the other was the size of a giant watermelon.

i dont like mango much by itself but it goes wonderfully mixed with other things

i dont think i've ever had papaya by itself

it's possible i've never had a good green grape in my life

they're always too sweet and too limp >.<

same with black ones tbh

i find that the red ones are the only ones that have a healthy mix of firmness/sweetness/tartness

the red ones are just sweet to me almost no tartness

Tbh growing up I had the opposite problem where the red grapes were always flaccid and squishy while the green were firm. Idk how that divide happened between PA and NY

it probably doesn't help that we're using extremely vague color descriptors like "red" and "green" when each color is probably represented by dozens of different cultivars, each with their own unique properties lol

as for the cultivars commonly available in my area, whichever one it is that happens to be reddish tends to be the best

i have this memory of trying blackberries as a little kid and hating them, and this kept me from eating them nearly all my life. only a couple years ago did i finally try them again and discovered that they're really good

they're the worse version of a raspberry but still really good
