This is a VERY tasty apple. I sent my SO out to buy some in December 2019 as soon as I heard about them. And they are right about how long they last. I had one left in my fruit bowl for over three months, then I cut it in half and used it in a couple salads. The other half was in the fridge for a few weeks, it began to show a tiny bit of brown towards then end of April so I cut it up for a few salads. It was delicious and juicy and tart-sweet to the end of its life at the end of April. I can’t wait to get some more!!!

@paul w Yes, it is actually. Every GMO crop has been examined and tested by the FDA, and no health risks have been found.

[@First-Last-108]

Yeah, because the problem isn't in the genetic engineering. The problem is that they engineer them to be more resistant to pesticides to allow for much larger amounts of pesticides to be used. GMO produce has much higher pesticide levels

[@JessieI]

^^THIS^^ this is the problem I have. Genetic Engineering, NO, not so much. BUT, genetically modified for the application of Tremendous amounts of pesticides and herbicides, VERY VERY MUCH a problem. Apples have a very thin skin, and the poisons also drip to the ground to be drawn from the soil and up into the tree along with its water. Silly me, I have a problem with feeding poisons to my grandchildren and I’m not much interested in noshing on any myself either. But not all GMO is Monsanto, nor is all GMO bad, and Cosmic Crisp Apples are not technically GMO at all.

Johnny Appleseed wasn't planting Apples for eating! Obviously! It was for drinking! Potable water was non-existent and the only thing they could safely drink was beer or wine. Without many native grapes, apples were needed in any frontier town so that they could make hard Cider and have something safe to drink. Eventually, along the way, one of those crab apple trees sprung up with big juicy fruits, like a red delicious and they've been Grafting them onto crab apple tree trunks ever since! Make a lot more money on apples for eating. 👍🏼 Btw, I highly recommend 'The Botany of Desire' by Michael Pollan

In my home orchard in Missouri I have a Red Delicious scion on one of my trees that comes from a tree that first grew in 1905. The fruit is better than the Red Delicious in the grocery store.

[@SandyRiverBlue]

My problem with the red delicious came about in the late 90s when for some reason they started showing up in supermarkets undersized and tannic as heck. That's when I stopped buying it. The industry says that people fell out of love with the red delicious but I don't think that's what happened, I think that they got greedy and it came to bite them in the ace. The flavor of the red delicious grown well has an almost rose water quality to it and is not overly sweet. It makes the most refreshing apple juice you've ever had. I don't see it going away any time soon.

Is there fatal arsenic in apple seeds?

[@Artyomthewalrus]

No. What you are thinking about is Amygdalin, a compound that when broken down by your intestines produces cyanide. If you don't chew the seeds, they will go through your system intact and wont do anything - if you chew them, then that amygdalin will get turned into cyanide. You would need to crush up and eat two cups of apple seeds to have a chance of dying. You can pretty safely eat an apple whole, just try to avoid chewing the seeds - but even if you accidentally chew the seeds nothing bad will really happen. You couldn't physically eat enough apples to cause real damage even if you chewed all the seeds in every apple you ate.
