That is one person's opinion. Maybe even the majority, but I happen to
support the first writer's idea that a fresh picked apple isn't at the peak of
flavor. Yes, the peak of crispness. My son likes a fresh Red Delicious and I accuse
him of not being able to differentiate texture from flavor. He doesn't care
for them when mealy ripe which I do. For myself, a Red Delicious apple ripened
in storage and no longer crisp is a delicious apple. For my wife and I, a 60
day old Mutsu is the very best apple! Even Gold Rush becomes eatable after
storage.
