How 8 Fruits Were Designed And Bred To Be Perfect I Business Insider Marathon
He eats an apple every day. Doctors don't go within 10 miles of him.
I eat 3 a day, coz my gallbladder's fucked, apples help massively in not feeling pressure in the area.
underrated comment
Lies again? Apple TV USD SGD
reading the "x is my favorite" apple comments reallly make me want to go buy an assortment of various apples and try them. i never realized there was so much variety or even a noticable difference between different types
I don't know anyone who eats just straight apples, let alone knows the fine details of the different cultivars or whatever lol. I'd be really worried that this is a dying industry since my guess is it's only older people or maybe school cafeterias. Apples cut up the mouth, get stuck in teeth, and are loaded with sugar... if I wanted a healthy option I'd gnaw on a head of broccoli. Juicing and pie apples are probably the future.
@@erawanpencilhow do apples cut up the mouth? What kind of apple are you eating? They have fiber and vitamins. I eat apples frequently, but maybe because I’m from Washington state where we have tons 🤷🏼♀️
Definitely try a bunch, there are so many varieties and some with really delicious flavors and textures. The cosmic crisp really is tasty!
There are roughly 5,000 different kinds of apples. From sweet to bitter.
@@TonkaJay oh never mind
Fun fact. The reason for an apple pie was to make apples more enjoyable when they weren’t so sweet.
Yeah obviously
huh?
Eating apples is very good for your health, you rarely have to see a doctor
i like tart apples more
@@duderinoification why
Pink Lady is my favourite, all of the characteristics of a green apple, sweet, tangy, crisp, fresh & juicy BUT still retains the colour & flavour of Red
Me too
Pink lady and honeycrisp are my favourites, but the cosmic crisps are decent if the other ones aren't in stock.
Oh I really like pink lady!!
I just eat whatever I find in my local forests
Same here!
I planted a sweet sixteen apple tree this year and I am super excited. They are posta taste like vanilla and spice
Cosmis Crisp is absolutely delicious and crunchy. I got tired of the red delicious because they really have very litte flavor. Cosmic crisp got me to eat apples again.
A perfectly ripe red delicious right off the tree is an absolute treat. Unfortunately, they're picked too early and stored too long to maintain much flavor at all.
In the past 15 years or so I went from buying big apples to small crisp apples. I love the smaller apples.
Any larger fruit is trash complete trash only grown because its GMO&patented. A plant will grow the same amount or even less but because they are so large its anywhere from 2-4X the weight per tree. These fruit are mostly water fiber/filler hardly any extra sugar compared to small varieties.
Take for instants apples the best variety is the Russet apple, the very ugly small mostly brown apple with some green on it. Russet apples are legit crisp, they are very very sweet with a slight hint of tart there texture is great that holds shape/can take a beating. Once again they are ugly as sin and very small apples, companies want GMO patented breeds with huge fruit uniform in shape and a bright colour. This way they can force everyone into buying their breed at 20-50X a normal heirloom sapling, while also forcing insane contracts making you a slave that has to obey 100% of the contract or else. They can change said contract whenever they want forcing you to update or no one will buy your fruit. Companies do this to farmers all the time now so they are always indebt and forced to buy from these companies because they give on "credit". Oh also you grow your own lovely X well enjoy someone trespassing on your land(yet again), claiming you stole their patent and are now being sued for 50m dollars. Because the pollen from the farm magically on the other side of town, well somehow a few of your X got infected with GMO poison plants. Which also means your farm is no longer organic or wtv. Fighting this in court is basically impossible because it costs so much, even if you have proof the same people have been repeated caught trespassing on your land at night. Very clearly infecting your plants with their companies fruits garbage pollen. And thanks to lobbying the government not only allows this it loves an enables most our products coming from a few companies who own everything. Enslave farmrs with debt, their companies that break stuff down and process it is always staffed mostly by illegals. As they blame covid for everything claiming they need to make everything much smaller in size and jack up the price. Even tho prices for X has been normal IE precovid prices for over 2 years. All while closing stuff down trying to move it over seas blaming prices in America being far far to high to make a profit. While "noname" brand products are making insane profits at atleast 50% the cost of brand name boomer garbage that is completely terrible quality if not banned for sale in every first world country.

Cosmic Crisp apples are so delicious and juicy! So good and good for you! 🍎
I just ate a Cosmic Crisp. My go-to is a red delicious. It reminds me of my childhood and picking apples in the orchard. That flavor can't be beat! My favorite is the Empire. Developed in NY state. It's a cross between Red Delicious and Macintosh. Great fror eating baking and sauces. It's very hard to find now that we live in the west.
Envy apple, every other apple envies it including the CC.
Empires are the best eating apple. Most apples are bred too sweet today. Empire has the perfect balance of tang and sweet.
Oh goodness, I can’t stand Red Delicious, I remember them from childhood, but I feel like they’ve changed and aren’t as good now. Cosmic Crisp really is good, imo
@@vixiera You've never had a Red Delicious perfectly ripe and just-picked from the tree. Most people haven't, sadly. They are, in fact, delicious, but the flavor and texture don't hold up at all well in storage. Plus, they're often picked underripe, which leaves them starchy.
Fuji apples. Beautiful and mega crispy. Thin skin too
All the ripe Fuji apples I've had had very a good flavor but really mealy compared to crisp varieties.
they are a little on the "uglier" side but they are extremely good, my favorite
Looking for this comment. Fuji is my favorite apple variety.
We FINALLY got Cosmic Crisps in Ontario and gotdamn, they're honestly the best apples I've ever tasted! 😍😍
Used to only go for Honey Crisp but these have taken their place at #1. The Cosmic are even a little bit cheaper here!! 🍎💙
Where in Ontario did you find them?
@@Restecpa A Sobeys in Toronto :)
If you go apple picking in the fall Watons Farm has them. Their in the Durham region.
Your videos are awesome, the cinematography and the overall shots of everything is dumbfounding, whoever leads it is a genius, nice work business insider!
I agree. This is an amazing documentary. As a fruit lover, I can’t wait to try some of these.
Thanks for watching!
My fave apple is granny smith! Love the tartness!
Wierd that some people like you enjoy sour apples… you’re like my dad who enjoys eating raw bramleys which are the most sour apples I’ve ever had (very juicy though so good for stewing).
@@ThePursuitWOD i like the sour ones too, but to be fair i like all sour things there is.
Honey crisp all day for me
@@birisuandrei1551 looove sour things!!!
@@ThePursuitWOD weird that some people like you call other people weird for eating an apple
Seriously we need to reinvent the pomegranate, delicious af but a pain to eat
😂😂😂
You'll eat it and enjoy it!!! Adapt to the food rather than create food that can alter your genetics. People won't notice until they can't stand the taste of natural pomegranate and prefer the artificial flavor
Agreed @@friedrice2912
@@friedrice2912 you and everyone else has already been eating genetically altered food for thousands of years. The grain and wheat we consume is not naturally occurring. It developed over time as we picked out the portions of crops that were undesirable and resowed crops that had properties we wanted. Over time this caused the mixing of generic traits specifically from the plants we cultivated and eliminated the others. And we already find completely natural foods to be incompatible with our current taste buds. Natural apples are not big and sweet. They are small and bitter. Any varieties you find to be otherwise have been bred and refined for a long time to develop those traits, changing them from the original.
@@kevingrisler4123 you could be correct... My culture was cultivating and farming for thousands of years before columbus got lost. Had to have been selective planting going on..
I just started freeze-drying this variety. They are by far my favorite apples when they are done.
Envy apples pretty much replace every other apple if you want a skin that doesn't add bitterness and is easy to eat and the meat of the apple is sweet and tasty. My wife won't eat anything else.
Cosmic Crisp are OK.
The problem with Red Delicious is decisions that were made by grocery chains where they wanted the apple to have a longer shelf life which required a thicker skin, and the world of big ag. gave it to them, and now most people won't touch them because there are much better options.
You don't get it both ways.
The best sweet corn doesn't have a long shelf life, and you only get it for about 3 weeks in the places that grow it, Silver Queen.
That's the rub. If fruit or veg has a bit of sugar AND isn't hard as a rock, it's not going to last. You have to enjoy it while it's in season.
O m g those grapes look so good..
expensive as hell as well.
This entire process is truly meticulous and professional
Japanese and thier obsession to perfection.
The Cosmic Crisp's development is a striking example of how targeted breeding and extensive research can revolutionize an industry. This endeavor not only showcases innovation but also sets a new standard for quality and shelf life in the produce market. 🍎
Cosmic crisps are delicious & will continue to buy em
Cosmic crisp sounds amazing! As of now Fuji is the best apple because it's the sweetest but I can't wait to try the new one when I get the chance
I picked this apple last year for the first time and it was amazing!!!!!
42:34 "But we must take a lot of care not to damage it" next scene, dude is picking like there's no tomorrow 😂
I love Cosmic Crisp apples. They are absolutely delicious 😋
crunchy cosmic crisp!!
Those grapes look bomb
oh wow i recently discored the cosmic crisp and it had quickly became my favorite. Its sweet, and just the right amount of tart
Evercrisp is my favorite!
Cosmic crisps have been my staple apple for more than a year now.
I’m glad apples are getting new varieties because I don’t eat apple much at all as a adult due to the lack of variety and taste
the fujis and galas are still good apples. they need to find a cross breed with the fuji especially. i still think the yellow golden is the best and most unique in flavor profile and distinct texture.
Yeah, but why try to re-invent the Fuji apple? Don't fix something that is not broken.
@@Richard-me2pq they mcan mix it with another species like fuji etc apple. do you get it? that's what the cosmic crisp was too.
Love cosmic crisp! But I like them when they are really dark reddish-purple.
The video is fascinating. Thanks for your sharing 🤩
Cosmic Crisp is great, but I want to try a Ludacrisp!
The banana part is crazzzy. Hoping they can science a way to make it easier in the future.
The pride in growing quality fruits vs quantity of trash that we get in our markets
those fruits costs money that the avg guy couldnt possibly afford. thanks to the economic concept the flag in your pfp represents.
100% agree
@@killermakd2015 bro wants us to be communists
@@aerialz7175 questioning american capitalism doesnt automatically make u a commie now does it? everybody knows laissez faire economy is prone to irrational choices, monopolies and oligarchic corruption. add to that the behavioural economics concerns of consumerism, and you get a society totally governed by justified greed and presentation skills. Pretty much like options and futures.
@killermakd2015 Yeah but there's no better options
I wanna try it.
I love apples.
I have some cosmic crisp apples, they are fine at best.
Cosmic Crisp is my FAVORITE grocery store apple......Thank You Science!!!!
This breeding technique is so old, I almost wouldn't call it science anymore 😂. With apples, you basically throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks. Their seeds essentially hold all "apple" DNA, it takes thousands of plants just to find one that isn't bitter. Sure, they started with a baseline idea of what they wanted from 2 variety, but they got lucky to find that collaboration 😉
@@davidmclay6182 well genetics is science and breeding is all possible with the knowledge in genetics and that makes your statement wrong and arbitrary
@hendrix4259 you must not understand how we breed different plants, it is ok. I'll dumb this down because I never said it wasn't science. This apple came from the oldest way possible to breed them though, stick seeds in the ground and hope for a sweet variety. If you don't know, apple seeds will not produce fruit like what it came from, it will make a very random apple tree, nothing like its parent. So they just planted trees until they found something desirable.
@@davidmclay6182 in that regard you're talking of mass selection? I'm curious to know what you're really upto since I'm someone from this background (msc horticulture specialising in genetics and plant breeding)
@hendrix4259 My background is biology, focusing on horticulture.
We don’t need only one variety of apple. Or only one variety of banana. Putting all the money on one variety is what causes food security issues. Shame on the corporations for making communities so dependent on something that could call their whole collapse.
I love the original green kiwi
Honey Crisp, then Granny Smith. I still think GS makes the best fresh apple juice.
thanks
i recently purchased cosmic crisp apples and i really enjoy them. my go-to used to be fuji, but i've been buying this one because they're more flavorful than the fuji and have a comparable price. it's not as expensive as honeycrisp and some others you find.
Never tried Envy apples huh?
Cosmic crisp is one of my favorites besides red delicious and gold delicious
Love a good cosmic crisp 🫶🏾
ok im down with most aspects of different cultures and all that. I understand that same social rules cant apply to every group of people. but PEELING GRAPES IS CRAZY
Everyone is enjoying apples while bro just peels cacti with his bare hands because it makes a better fruit… Pitayas
Love Red Delicious…they just seem to brown faster than other apples.
This is Gary Busey if he got into apples
My favorite is crispy granny 😋
I work with indoor plants professionally in California. Mostly tropicals. Fusarium is hell for Draceanas. It is everywhere.
I did not realise people peeled grapes?
Cosmic Crisp is my go to.
Is it tart at all?
I want a soft apple 2:03 Telling me I should enjoy a certain apple because it's shelf stable. I want an apple that's fresh and not part of a monoculture
very good
The mango trees I know are huge and dozens of mangos grow at a the same time. Those look like bonsai trees. And the ones we have here are very very sweet already, no sour taste, and are cheap.
My go-to is Golden Delicious. Second choice is Fuji.
Cosmic crisp is the bomb. When its in season i always buy. Tastes like grape koolaid and you cant change my mind
pink lady apples are pretty awesome too.
Is it tart?
eating a cosmic crisp while watching this 😭😭
i Love the red delicious apples
My favourite still remains the Granny Smith, which my ancestor Maria Smith discovered growing in her orchard in Eastwood, Australia! It's believed they were a cross between her existing trees & some over-ripe crab-apples purchased solely for the wooden boxes they were in!
So she grew some seeds from the crab apples that were in the box she wanted?
@@Nakanapierce The seedling was a cross-breed that grew from the compost heap where she dumped the contents of the boxes.
Fuji is my favorite!!
Cosmic Crisp is top tier
Those cosmic crisps are delicious.
Effort rewarded. This evolves human beings
Heard about the Cosmic for years but haven't seen it in my local store.
Haven't seen them in a local grocery store but did see them in Costco.
This is the "Apple" of apples
3:35 how the first bite of an apple feels
Pink Lady is the best one
The sight of these people throwing away apples only because of the fact, they will not earn enough money with it, meanwhile there are people who could not afford to even buy one of them, shows a really nice picture of today's society.
Mantap❤❤❤
❤
Send your GMO bananas this way.
I have no problem eating them 😁
Are those grapes good for wine?
I love the Cosmic Crisp - it’s my new favourite apple!
BEST APPLE,,APPLE JUCY..
36:50.. Is that full-grown Durian tree grafted to root stock?
I would totally eat GMO bananas, as long as the GMO was not design for allowing more intensive pesticide use.
Ethan, your videos are amazing. But if had one critique is that your information on robusta variety quality is a little bit off.
There are some unique flavor profiles that are only associated with robusta. As with arabica there are high quality coffe on both varieties. Its true that there are more quality coffe being produced with arabica then robusta, but I recommend you to look for amazonic robusta high quality coffe that can change your opinion about it.
Who’s idea was to create the red delicious to begin with 😩
Monkey see shiny.
If it looks good, it sells good. I think something similar is going on with tomatoes. Beautiful but basically all water and no taste, depending on the variant.
@@fricki1997 Supermarket tomatoes have been genetically engineered to knock out the gene that produces ethylene, which is involved in ripening. That way they can ship them across country without spoiling. Industrial gas suppliers sell ethylene, which the stores can use to ripen them, but it's expensive so they don't use enough.
I'm growing my own tomatoes this year for the first time. All heirloom cultivars.
Eating a cosmic crisp right now
8:15 Ayo pause
I would like to know where the ‘not so perfect fruits go.’ Would be nice if they aren’t tossing or destroying the imperfect fruits. Lots of people going hungry in the world.
generally they're processed into things like juice.
There’s a company called OddBox in the UK which prepares fruit & veg boxes of “imperfect” goods to peoples homes
You can tell most people have probably only watched part of this video based upon the comments LOL! 🍎🍏🍎😊
Also is makes sense based upon the length of video and average attention span nowadays. 🙂
How different are they to the Pink Lady apples?
Old man teeth nicely adapted 😂😂😂😂
Bring back berry farms
The kiwi guy made me never want to eat a golden kiwi
SweeTango is better than Cosmic Crisp. It’s also a Honeycrisp cross. Golden kiwis are amazing, I agree.
They should have covered a high quality honeycrisp apple
SweetTango and First kiss are better too
It all depends on" terroir".
RUBY RED GRAPES SUPERIO
.
.
I have a few kiwis in my fridge which havnt gone bad in several weeks. Do they have preservatives?
The kiwi one is getting to me😅 talking About gotta be careful and gently with them to not damage them, saying that as the pickers are very aggressively picking them off and tossing them into the bags not placing🤣🤣🤣🤣 like BRUH!
I llooovvveee Fujis
That is the first time I hear about Cosmic Crisp, and I worked in a grocery store for 5 years. Is it the same as Honey Crisp?
No different. Only place I've seen them is Costco
Interesting how the narrator says the Buddha’s hand is used during the big festival, tet, in Japan and the video quickly cuts to the farmer talking about tet for Vietnamese people, not Japanese.
i hope, but dont have a good feeling about what they do with the "imperfect" specimens. markets and supermarkets need to create an isle for "imperfect" fruits that can be sold or better yet, given away, rather than wasted.
It’s like breeding the perfect shiny Pokémon, but it’s grapes.
