Grapples ~ they're incredibly edible!
Have you tried grapples (pronounced like grape and pulls)?
My wife picked a few up and I asked for more. These are apples in size, color, texture - but they taste like a giant concord grape!
Seriously, the last one was so juicy and sweet and grape-like that it was like eating bunches of dense grapes, and drinking good, real grape juice.
The company has a website at http://grapplefruits.com/!
Check 'em out. You'll be amazed.
Regards,
Keith |

Interesting.
I see they claim there's no genetic engineering. This may be just the thing to help in the battle against childhood obesity. Nutritionally, they rank with traditional apples, with 0 fat, or cholesterol.
It's surprising to see that they're not kosher.
Personally, I advise against the sliced offering, if only for the prevalence of food borne bacteria that may be harmful to the consumer. Buy fresh produce whole, and slice or chop it as you need it.

Agreed. I think I'll take one into work tomorrow to give everyone a little slice!
Really recommend picking some up. They're about 75 cents an apple, packaged in a hard plastic 4-pack like some tomatoes are.
I can't wait to spring one on a friend (without telling) and then waiting for their reaction!

Hey this looks really interesting. I will look for it in the grocery stores around here and see if anyone has them.
My youngest son is a fruit lover! I think he would pass up any other food if he was offered a huge bowl of fruit instead! lol I'm sure he will love these.
Thanks Keith!
