Why Apples Are The Best Fruit, Back Off Bananas

apples vs bananas

Do you like apples? They are one of my favorite foods. When there’s apples at lunch I always get like 3 and save one for fifth period. I like them because they can be different forms, flavors, AND they are really cheap! I like other fruits too but apples are just superior.

 

The first reason they are the best is they can be in different forms. Like applesauce, an actual apple, baby food, and juice. They can also be made into  pie, chips, cider, vinegar and  slices. Personally I think applesauce and just regular apples are the best though. They not only have different forms but they also have so many different flavors!

 

The second reason they’re the best fruit is they have different flavors. Like they can be sour, sweet, acidic, and juicy. Some say they can even be a little spicy sometimes. Personally, granny smith is my favorite. Did you know that there are more than 7,500 varieties of apples around the world including gala, granny smith, pink lady, red delicious, honey crisp, and golden delicious etc. There are not only a lot of flavors and forms but they’re pretty cheap too.

 

The third and final reason is the prices. THEY’RE SO FREAKING CHEAP!!!! At Walmart a 3 lbs bag of granny smith apples are only $4.57. At Whole Foods 3 lbs of granny smith apples are $5.97. At Publix’s 3 lbs of granny smith apples are $5.31. This means that you can buy a bag of apples and have a snack for a while!

 

So, If you couldn’t tell, I love apples, Like a lot, Maybe a lil too much. I think the whole reason I wrote this story was because I feel like apples are under-appreciated. Yes I know some people consider them the best fruit but NOT ENOUGH. An example is my friend wrote a story about how good bananas are but I was like why aren’t you writing about apples. I hope I convinced you with this story to be on apples’ side.(Smiley face So I don’t seem threatening)
