Has the cosmic crisp apple suddenly gone to shit? (lemmy.world)

Got a pack of C. Crisps from Costco two weeks ago, and they were awful. Little flavor, mealy texture. They looked beautiful, but that had zero crunch, and really bland flavor.

Figured it was a bad batch and bought another dozen from Fred Meyer. Same thing.

Is something going on in the world of apples? I get they’re not in season, but this seems extreme.

I do know that some of our best apples are shipped overseas where they sell for a higher markup.

Friend of mine had an excellent apple in Japan once just to see that it was grown in Wenatchee.
