The last time I was at the grocery store, for the 1st time ever, they had zero Granny Smith apples. It was probably because of the coronavirus thing. So I bought some other apples and I had to throw them out because they were disgusting.

Granny Smith

Wikipedia - Granny Smith

The Granny Smith is a tip-bearing apple cultivar, which originated in Australia in 1868. It is named after Maria Ann Smith, who propagated the cultivar from a chance seedling. The tree is thought to be a hybrid of Malus sylvestris, the European wild apple, with the domesticated apple Malus pumila as the pollenizer.

The fruit is hard, with a light green skin and crisp, juicy flesh. The flavor is tart and acidic. It remains firm when baked, making it a very popular cooking apple used in pies, where it can be sweetened. The apple goes from being completely green to turning yellow when overripe.

It is claimed to be the third most popular apple in America by the US Apple Association.

The Granny Smith was one of four apples honored by the United States Postal Service in a 2013 set of four 33¢ stamps commemorating historic strains, joined by Northern Spy, Baldwin, and Golden Delicious.

The Golden Delicious apples are what I had to throw in the garbage. I would not feed that crap to a dog.
