Sweet Tango Apples


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 523 Posts

An apple variety called Sweet Tango, with a couple of bites out of the apple.It seems every fall we have new varieties of apples to choose from. Some are very good, and some are OK. I think the Gala apple is the best to be marketed in a long time.

My all time favorite is the Red Delicious. But, all Red Delicious apples are not the same. Growing conditions affect the color, texture, sugar content, etc.

My favorite Red Delicious apple hails from Washington state. These smaller than 'standard' Red Delicious apples are packed with lots more flavor than you'll find in the larger apple. Big things come in small packages? Yes!

On my last visit to the neighborhood grocer, I saw two varieties new to me. I bought one of each. So far, I've tried just one.

The name Sweet Tango is a misnomer. These apples probably do have a high sugar content, but it is overshadowed by tartness.

This apple is so tart, it reminds me of a Granny Smith. I'm thinking, if one likes Granny Smith, but wishes it wasn't quite so tart, Sweet Tango would be for them. I'm also thinking it would be great for pies if not cooked for very long, (it is an eating, not cooking, apple).

One thing this Sweet Tango apple does have going for it is crispness. It is absolutely the crispiest apple I have ever encountered, bar none.

If you like an apple with a lot of flavor and a double portion of 'twang', check out this Sweet Tango. It's right puckerified!

I want one so badly! I am an apple FIEND. I found two that I love and sadly, I forget their names. One was a New Zealand native, and one from Washington State. I think Honeycrisp apples or overrated.

Have you tried Pink Lady? That is one of my favorite apples, and I think it is from Washington. Wish I could send you a box of apples in exchange for a box of oranges!

An apple which will look to you as "fresh" especially from the aspect of its skin can have spent nearly a year in what is called a cold chamber since it was harvested. These cold chambers have very sophisticated technologies which aim is to stop the desiccation of the fruits. They are not just cool air chambers and it is their technologies that give the apples the firm and smooth aspect of their skin. If you grow an apple tree you will see that its fruits will never have the aspect of the apples you buy. An apple or a pear loses its water very quickly, it means that a fruit which skin looks to you as rubbery or wrinkly can be an apple harvested only two or three weeks before when the one with the firm and smooth skin can have been harvested 8 months before.

Cold chambers to apples are a bit like esthetic surgery to men and women. I learned this from a few weeks of hard work under the sun harvesting the Golden Delicious apples in early September as many others students, to earn very little money. The use of the cold chambers or atmosphere controlled chambers is needed for the producers to have a regular income by being able to keep on selling fruits during the whole year and not only during the harvesting time or just a few weeks after the harvest.
