The Sunfood Berry Adventure is one of many ‘super’ trail mixes available. It claims to be non-GMO, organic, and all the other wonderful things. This particular mix has golden berries, raw cashews, and goji berries. The goji berries packed the most punch out of the three components. The cashews, being raw, only offered a mild…

Driftless Sheep Cheese comes in a plastic container and a variety of flavors. The flavors offered are tomato and basil, olive oil, lavender and honey, and plain. I selected the lavender and honey variety. The texture is fluffy, lighter than cream. Its consistency reminded me of crepe filling. It would pair excellently with a crepe…

The Smitten apple appears unassuming. It has the countenance of any other ‘red’ apple. Stripes of red and yellow. Decent size. It looks plain. Its taste is not. It has a delectable tang that sings with its undertones of sweetness that become stronger the closer the flesh you get to the core. The sweetness can…

I had such high hopes for this apple. A name like ‘Star’ connotes a burst of flavor. There was nothing from this Star apple . Bland. Crunchy and juicy, but devoid of flavor. I could not finish it I was so unexcited by it. Even with apples that have a flavor or texture I do not…

At first glance I did not think the Tentation was an apple. It looked like a narrow Asian Pear or some other fruit. My first impression of the flavor was that it was similar to the Lady Alice: that it was like a pear. This was true until it became sweet. It was like the…

The Lady Alice is small, unassuming, and flushed with delicate yellows and reds. It is a petite apple, and it did not take many bites to eat it through. Although it is an apple, it tastes almost exactly like a pear. The texture mirrors that of one as well. I found myself getting thirsty after eating…

The Pacific Rose is a rose indeed: the colors of the skin range from yellow to pink to dark red. Each apple looks strikingly different, the swirls and blotches vary considerably. It crunches like a pear, the flesh is juicy and moist. The taste is also sort of pear-like, but much much sweeter. I almost…

The Lady apple is an apple ‘oddity’ due to their size. They are small and adorable. I could fit three in my hand. Asides from aesthetics the Lady apple is crunchy, yet not crispy. The crunch was dry. The Lady apple does not have much juice nor flavor. Little bits of sweetness lurk somewhere, among…

The first thing that came to mind when I bit into the Junami apple was ‘reserved.’ There is not much crunch to it. The skin is of medium thickness, a little waxy but with not much flavor, while the flesh has a loose grain with enough juice to call it juicy. The flavor is the most reserved part of…

The Orin apple reminded me of the Green Dragon when I saw it, but it was shorter and fatter. The familiarities continued as I bit into it: the flavor has the similar guava-like quality to it. The taste is very airy and tropical-fruity. The skin is brittle, without flavor while the flesh is slightly mushy and…
