    del Monte gold pineapple. I bought it when they were out of my regular canned pineapple and now I can’t go back

      We get these fresh here, and wow I agree, these are so sweet and flavorful. Even if they don’t look as ripe as the other ones they taste better, you can smell them when you approach the display.

    Lucy glo apples are one of the only apples I’ll eat. So good, they’re visually fun, and at least the stand I get them from they’re always very crisp

    Ataulfo mangoes. At least in the northeast US, they are reliably delicious and ripen on the counter.

    Cortland apples

    Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?

    Granny Smith apples. They have intense flavor and solid crispness, unlike other variety vaguely sweet mushy apples. Most importantly, they’re still good out of season.

    Every year I go wild with variety for 1-2 month, then return to Grannies for the rest of the year

      Same. They’ve replaced Pink Ladies as my favorite. The texture and perfect amount of sweetness make them such a joy!

    Fuji apples when I make apple cobbler.

    For just sitting there eating peanut butter on an apple, a honeycrisp. I used to go for Galas because they were cheap, but lately I decided $1 more per pound of apples is better than occasionally eating a dozen donuts when I want something sweet. Overall, just better to spend more money on healthier food than to absolutely optimize my grocery budget then binge on junk food when the optimization freaks me out.
