I started buying organic apples because the wax coating used on many of the conventional apples did not blend/chop well for my smoothies. Unfortunately, the last few organic apples that I purchased from Harris Teeter grocery store seemed great looking on the outside, but the flesh inside was inedible. I then decided to try Publix grocery store, and they too had great looking organic apples. However, they too were inedible.
Harris Teeter refunded my money for my bad apple, but I could not find my receipt to return this apple pictured to Publix. In the picture, this organic apple was cut a few days prior to its picture taking.
There is perfect outer skin on the organic apple.
However, the flesh of the organic apples have been soft and/or grainy.
Averaging $1.49 per pound for pricing, organic apples, according to my research, may be frozen from a previous season. This may explain why it looks good on the outside but "rottening" on the inside.
I was told by a local farmer that apples can be safely stored at 38° but at 32°, the apples can go bad. If the temperature drops too low, then it is by accident.
