Hi!
I’m all about fruit right now.
It started last year when I was reading up on fiber and all its wonderful benefits.
Feeling satiated sounded great - big fan of that. Regulating my blood sugar would be a definite perk, because mine keeps going out of whack. And I have no idea what’s happening with my gut microbiome, but giving it a boost is probably smart.
So I spent a few weeks crunching the numbers to figure out how much fiber I was getting on an average day.
And well, it wasn’t great.
I had been trying my best to eat healthy and balanced. I thought I was doing real good, too. But I’m a chicken-and-potatoes kind of gal, and I’m not too fond of anything with lots of seeds and grains.
I needed a way to make this work without resorting to a diet that would feel like I’m eating bird food.
So I started thinking outside the seed - right to the sweet, fleshy outer bits.
Which is my needlessly convoluted way of saying that I got into apples.
They’re yummy. They’re shiny and appealing. And they’re chock full of fiber and vitamins.
And it’s not like I’m new to apples. I’ve always been a fan. But I’m also really fussy when it comes to selecting them.
Granny Smiths are the wrong kind of sour for my sensitive palate.
McIntosh apples just seem so bland - every bite has a strong aftertaste of disappointment.
And I vote for letting Red Delicious go extinct. Seriously, who even had the nerve to call it that? Did it give itself that nickname and we just went along with it?
Nah, my discerning mouth wants one thing and one thing only.
Honeycrisp apples.
That one actually earns its name. It’s sweet and scrumptious. It’s firm with an incredibly satisfying bite.
No wonder Snow White fell for this shit - these things are completely irresistible.
But they’re also expensive - at least, they are around here. So I could never justify eating them except as an occasional treat.
Things are different now, though. I’m trying to pump up my fiber intake and this is the most tolerable way to do it. It ain’t cheap, but I keep stocking my mini fridge with those sweet things.
And it’s been making me so damn happy.
A bowl of apple slices really is one of life’s simple pleasures. It’s right up there with sitting on the warm sand at the beach or yelling “cows!” when you drive by a farm and spot some.
You just can’t be sad when you’re munching on them - as long as a Red Delicious didn’t sneak in there somehow.
But this week, I decided to take it to the next level.
I want apples to stay a big part of my life. And I don’t want to compromise and only eat Royal Galas because times got lean and we don’t have Honeycrisp money anymore.
So I looked up all the local nurseries and garden centers until I found a young Honeycrisp apple tree.
It was the last one too - hiding behind pear trees and other inferior fruit.
But it’s mine now. I bought it, brought it home, and I’ll be planting it as soon as I decide where it’s going. I have a few spots in mind, but I want to get this right - wherever it’s going, it’s staying there permanently.
And now I’m all tingly with excitement.
I know it’ll take at least a couple of years before this slim twiggy thing grows a proper trunk and splays out its big, beautiful branches. It’ll be a while before I get to pluck some fruit off the stem and enjoy the freshest apples I’ve ever eaten.
But it will be so satisfying when I finally get to. And I’ll enjoy tending to it until the time comes.
And if some sexy Snow White type happens to wander into my life, I’ll be ready for her with a whole bushel of these things.
Not dipped in poison, though. Just the regular kind. Because I know if she just takes one bite, she’ll be coming back for more.
Love,
Emma ❤
