I used to love apples. Until I realized that most of the ones I would buy ended up being mealy. It was like rolling dice as to whether one would be mealy.
Maybe it’s because we started buying organic? We got some apples one time that weren’t organic, and they were great.
If organic apples are too susceptible to being mealy, I guess I’d rather just eat other organic fruits vs. eating non-organic apples.
A mealy texture usually means that apple is old and was not recently picked. Some varieties, like the red delicious of this article were bred to not get mealy as they age but at a cost. There is nothing specific about organic that would make the apples mealy but if they were varieties not bred for long life or if they were slow sellers due to price, you might get a high percentage of mealy apples.
