They change taste almost as fast as sweet corn once picked. Ok not that bad but you get the idea.
A fresh honey crisp is beautiful as are many others.
Supermarket apples are cold stored for up to a year under nitrogen.  Taste like it too.
Oops long way from garlic. Sorry |
Yep
I know. I hardly ever bother with apples from the grocery store - unless they are locally grown, in which case they may have some taste left.
Pears on the other hand.. seem to hold on much better. I was surprised to find a certain variety that is both beautiful and tasty. It's sold in one supermarket chain only ..
