It always makes me wonder what delicious flavors nature has provided that I'm missing out on. Just like Banana's in the states, we have a "main" variety of apple which is "Red Delicious" (it's just a name, not delicious). This abomination is the prettiest picturesque apple you've ever seen, but it tastes like cardboard compared to any other apple species. I wish we still had access to all the different varieties of banana's that used to be around but guess we've fucked that one up.
Every fruit from big supermarkets tastes like chemicals, looks shiny like you say and they’re all the same size. Also they pick them when they’re not ripe a refrigerate them, so an apple lasts like 3 days outside the fridge before you open it and it’s rotten inside. The good fruit and vegetables come from local markets. It’s less convenient and sometimes even more expensive but you get to taste and benefit from the better nutritional content.
