Just playing. I enter a monthly photography contest from @kohnecameraphoto sometimes and this month they have made it way to difficult! The topic is PETS! How could I possibly choose one photo of my animals? What if the other animals found out? #opalapple #beagle #nikon #iliketotakepictures #igers_toledo #igers_nwohio https://www.instagram.com/p/B7BbAs1lqa_/?igshid=139b1t8s14adp

Have y’all ever heard of an Opal apple? These particular ones are from Washington. The only other place they are grown is France, the Netherlands and Austria. It is a hybrid cultivar blending the Golden Delicious with a Topaz (of which I’ve never heard of before) that was developed in Prague. You should smell these apples. You should taste them. They are the most unique, bright tasting, firm, lovely little apples I’ve ever eaten. They taste like nothing else. Sweet crunchy and fragrant. Awesome. 2 lbs for $5 at @Publix grocery store. Nom nom nom. . . . . . #dailydoseofdora #dorajcrow #montgomeryalabama #apple #apples #publix #washington #opalapple #opal #hybrid #cultivar #delish #tasty #bright #sweet (at Montgomery, Alabama)

A few weeks ago I received a BzzKit from @Bzzagent for Opal Apples. They are bright yellow apples that are available from November through March and are non-GMO. I think their claim to fame are being non-browning (naturally!). A little bit more on Opal Apples (taken from BzzAgent):

Opal® Apples arrived in the U.S. in 2010 and are grown exclusively in Washington at Broetje Orchards

Known as the apple with a purpose, a portion of Opal® Apples’ sales goes to their Youth Make a Difference grants, which support youth-led non-profits involving food, nutrition and agriculture

I was able to find Opal Apples at my local Safeway. I used their website http://www.opalapples.com/ to search for a grocery that carried them and my options were Safeway and Trader Joe's. First stop, and a little bit of searching, I found them! They were going for $2.99/lb and since I got a $5 coupon I tried to measure roughly 2 lbs of apples (it was about 4 big ones). Another goodie in my BzzKit was a flexible cutting board which you can see above. The apple slicer, however, is mine ;).

As you can see, the apple is bright inside, and after a few minutes of sitting out, still bright! It was a really crisp apple, and it took me a little more effort to slice with my apple slicer/corer. I love that the apple is not too sweet, and it is a little tangy like they describe online but not too much that you cannot recognize it as a classic apple. 

I can't wait to cut up some more and give them to my daughter! She loves fruit, and like most toddlers, gets distracted easily so she'll sometimes walk away from her food then comes back to it and is all grossed out that it's discolored. I'm curious to see if this non-browning apple will outlast the rest and be gobbled up by my baby! 

I have a few more digital coupons ($1 off) if anyone is interested... I happened to run into a friend at Safeway and gave her one from my BzzKit and the other I gave to the cashier because he was praising the apples so much! He said, "I'm going to grab one for lunch!" so I said, "Here! Use a coupon!" haha!! 

Thanks BzzAgent for the BzzKit and the goodies!
