How 8 Fruits Were Designed And Bred To Be Perfect I Business Insider Marathon
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
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
Seriously we need to reinvent the pomegranate, delicious af but a pain to eat
😂😂😂
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
I planted a sweet sixteen apple tree this year and I am super excited. They are posta taste like vanilla and spice
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. 🍎
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.
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.
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
Cosmic Crisp apples are so delicious and juicy! So good and good for you! 🍎
In the past 15 years or so I went from buying big apples to small crisp apples. I love the smaller apples.
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.
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
I love Cosmic Crisp apples. They are absolutely delicious 😋
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.
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!
O m g those grapes look so good..
My fave apple is granny smith! Love the tartness!
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 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 crisps have been my staple apple for more than a year now.
i ONLY eat golden kiwis. SO DELICIOUSSSSSS
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
This entire process is truly meticulous and professional
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.
This is the "Apple" of apples
Cosmic crisps are delicious & will continue to buy em
Everyone is enjoying apples while bro just peels cacti with his bare hands because it makes a better fruit… Pitayas
I did not realise people peeled grapes?
I picked this apple last year for the first time and it was amazing!!!!!
Cosmic Crisp is great, but I want to try a Ludacrisp!
The video is fascinating. Thanks for your sharing 🤩
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.
Honey Crisp, then Granny Smith. I still think GS makes the best fresh apple juice.
Those grapes look bomb
Cosmic Crisp is my go to.
Is it tart at all?
Japanese and thier obsession to perfection.
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
thanks
I wanna try it.
I love apples.
Evercrisp is my favorite!
It’s like breeding the perfect shiny Pokémon, but it’s grapes.
crunchy cosmic crisp!!
Love cosmic crisp! But I like them when they are really dark reddish-purple.
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?
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.
This is Gary Busey if he got into apples
Love a good cosmic crisp 🫶🏾
Love Red Delicious…they just seem to brown faster than other apples.
I llooovvveee Fujis
very good
Autumn Glory is the apple of apples
I have some cosmic crisp apples, they are fine at best.
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!
Are those grapes good for wine?
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.
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.
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.
Pink Lady is the best one
Red delicious were good until one day they werent. I'm in Canada, my go to is honey crisp
Effort rewarded. This evolves human beings
Bring back berry farms
I love the Cosmic Crisp - it’s my new favourite apple!
BEST APPLE,,APPLE JUCY..
3:35 how the first bite of an apple feels
This is why i hate comercial fruit
Sadly every segment of this ends the same way. "Unfortunately due to the climate crisis these crops are struggling"
It's my fault,of course , I drive diesel pickup.
Me eating golden kiwi while watching this
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.
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
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.
I work with indoor plants professionally in California. Mostly tropicals. Fusarium is hell for Draceanas. It is everywhere.
Macintosh is the best apple
❤
Honey crisp apples are the best. Fuji, pink lady, granny smith are all below that.
RUBY RED GRAPES SUPERIO
.

i be imagining abby le miller coaching the fruits.
HUMIDIFY! ATTRACT THE BEES! BE BIG AND SWEET! or whatever she says.
Does anybody know the name of the wonderful music piece at around 17:17?
Yes, they are engineered
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.
can we get pink kiwi next pls?
How different are they to the Pink Lady apples?
GO COUGS!!!!❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
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.
SUPERIOR GRAPES HERVESTED JULY
36:50.. Is that full-grown Durian tree grafted to root stock?
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.
They should have covered a high quality honeycrisp apple
SweetTango and First kiss are better too
It all depends on" terroir".
The cosmic crisp is so good I eat 2 a day. (Off topic, but the woman at 2:52 is beautiful.)
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.
Send your GMO bananas this way.
I have no problem eating them 😁
Was that old captain America 😅
I hated the Red Delicious apple growing up!
"illegal orchards" the fact that people think its okay to copyright a species of fruit should be criminal. anyone who has the means to should be able to grow anything they want.
That is the age we live in. Everything is about money and before long clean water and air will be up for sale on Wall Street.
💥💥Yeah I'll stick with my Granny Smith apples. I'm not trying to break the bank on some expensive cosmic crisp apple and all this other bs.
Granny Smiths make great pie apples.
@@Richard-me2pq so I went to my local supermarket and I went to the Apple section. They had Cosmic crisp so i bought one. That one apple was 2.99 plus tax.
I have to say it was good it was juicy but i don't think it was any more juicier than a granny smith apple that I've had.
I didn't know they had this many different types of apples. It's another one called Honey crisp it's other different types of apples.
100% the apples in my backyard taste better
Nah your shits are bitter
IoDINE (rhymes with wine). I didn't think there was an american accent that pronounced it like "iodeen"
It was a Latin word before it was an Anglo-Saxon/English word: thus, ee-oh- dee-nay was on this planet earth longer than the long "I" pronunciation.
Anglo-Saxon/ English barbarian tribes were still swinging from trees and had not discovered fire yet, at the same time the Roman Empire was established.
Fuji apples are SUPERIOR.
Honey crisp is the best apple in the world. Fuji is alright...
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
