I'm just trying something a little bit different I have a sort of a higher quality camera, but it's a little bit more temperamental. So today we will be looking at the Braburn. Now I'm told by a friend of mine that everybody likes Braburns. But I don't know if that's particularly true. It's susceptible to scabs and something called Browning Disorder. They double label this one. That's interesting. I guess they really want you to know it's a Braburn. So the Browning Disorder is some, they're hard to store these Braburns and sometimes they just turn brown on the inside. You don't really know until you open up your Apple product whether or not it's brown. Shouldn't, I don't think it affects the flavor that much, but well, it's kind of gross. Some people have a lot of trouble with that. Now unlike the last Apple I reviewed the Sweetango, anyone can pretty much grow a Braburn, which means that you can buy the seeds and have your own tree and sell in a market. But Sweetango is, you have to especially apply to the company and they have to approve you to do it. But the Braburn is, you don't have to be especially approved farm. You just have to be allowed to grow agriculture and away you go. Now you'll notice from this Braburn that it's actually greenish undertones and then red on top. And they think that a Braburn might have been the result of crossbreeding a Granny Smith and maybe a lady Hamilton and who knows what else. So cross-pollination is probably how we got Braburns. They're known for an explosion of flavor. Having read that they've got some Granny Smith parentage I'm expecting something a little bit spicy. So let's open her up. Okay, so here we go. Get this Apple going. Oh, this one's kind of resisting the knife. There we go and make another cut. And it's very crisp. I can tell you that it compares actually with the Sweetango and Christmas. And there we go. A little amount of juice came out. So the skin wasn't particularly fragrant, but let's see if the flesh of the Apple is fragrant. Let me take a smell. That actually smells a lot better than the Sweetango. Despite being a variety that's not strictly controlled, it doesn't smell like a raw pumpkin, which is not generally something people go another way to eat. I've got friends, of course, but wow, it's actually already starting to brown. So this does go quick. Let me find out how it tastes. I'm gonna need to cut for it a bit. I took too big of a bite. All right. So, Braeburn, it is sour. It's got notes of Granny Smith. It's pretty sweet too, but it's mostly sour. It's actually pretty tart. As hand apples go, this is pretty crisp. And I would actually recommend eating it to people who want to look for a hand apple. And they want to try something that it tastes very bright and fresh. Of course, you might end up with one that's brown on the inside, because that's just something that happens with these. Well, I don't know. I still think you're better going for Granny Smith, if you want to make pies. But let's look in the inside. Ooh, it's so sweet. Let's look in the inside. Ooh, it's really green in here. And it's kind of got a big cavernous core. So you can't eat as much of it as a sweet tango or say gala. But not a lot in the way of seeds, but it's got this hard part. That doesn't taste so good. Yeah. So I would recommend Braeburn for trying. I'm not a fan of Granny Smiths, but I still think it's a pretty decent apple. So yeah, that's my recommendation. Go up and get yourself a Granny Smith hybrid Braeburn, which pretty good. I mean, I don't know what else you want to say. It's a fine apple product and for the price, it's pretty decent. I picked this one up for... Oh, shoot about the same price as a red delicious. And those are about as cheap as you can get usually. So it's pretty at a pretty good value. And it's just got a good amount of pucker, but not too much. It's not quite as bad as a Granny Smiths. So I'm going to say I'm going to have to grieve my friend. Everybody does like a Braeburn while he's tired of. So thanks for watching another Apple product review. Next time, I'm thinking we're going with Gala. Bye.
