Cosmic Crisp Vs. Sugarbee Smackdown

In the realm of Honeycrisp and its ii original rivals, EverCrisp too Cosmic Crisp, the SugarBee (R) is but a misfortunate relation.

Why, it doesn't fifty-fifty cause got the give-and-take "crisp" inward its name.

But it comes from the same stock too aims for the same effect.

So bring together me for a comparing tasting alongside Cosmic Crisp (L), since I am fortunate to cause got both today.

Honeycrisp continues to define this category of apples that are super sweet, really juicy, too explosively crisp.

The Honeycrisp is Cosmic Crisp's pollen bring upward (father), too also the woman bring upward of EverCrisp too SugarBee.

So let's cause got a hold back at this sibling relationship. Is it rivalry or something else?

Looking closely

These ii apples hold back a lot alike. Cosmic's cherry blush is a flake to a greater extent than saturated, too slightly less orange, than Sugar Bee's, but they are close.

Both are decorated past times tan lenticel dots that vary inward size, too both are nearly the same cast too size (large).

My Bee shows many modest dents, artifacts of storage too transportation. (My Cosmics came packed inward foam from the grower.)

Maybe they are delicate inward that way, or maybe mine but had a fossil oil trip.

The ii odor sweet, but non inward the same way. Cosmic has that odd smokey note, piece Sugar Bee is pure apple tree cider.

The proof inward the eating

Biting in, Sugar Bee has coarse-grained yellowish flesh alongside plenty of juice too a first-rate crunch.

The honeydew too spice notes, too the enticing proposition of something alcoholic that I flora inward my tasting sample inward 2017, are yet present.

Oh, too it's pretty sweet. But those flavors larn inward palatable.

The flesh of Cosmic Crisp is really similar inward texture too color too crunch. It is possibly a bird denser. Without beingness whatever less sweetness Cosmic brings to a greater extent than balancing tartness.

In this context, Cosmic's flavors are less obvious. There is that floral note, but the smokiness I cause got flora inward roughly samples, though yet present, expresses itself to a greater extent than equally a savory quality—which is also echoed inward Sugar B.

Which is best?

These apples are non peculiarly amiable companions. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 seize alongside teeth of Cosmic afterwards Sugar Bee lacks distinction, though the stair out of tart is pleasant; a seize alongside teeth of the Bee afterwards Cosmic tastes sparse too saccharine.

Both amend on the minute seize alongside teeth afterwards the switch.

Still y'all wouldn't swallow both of these inward 1 sitting unless y'all were really hungry or, inward my case, curious.

I went dorsum too forth on these, initially favoring SugarBee. But at the terminate of it all, it is a depict betwixt these similar too related varieties.
