My heirloom apple project

What is your favorite apple?

For my memoir about apples and autism I’m diving into the world of heirloom apples. This fall I’ve procured 25 different apples species from a grower who is saving lost and amazing apples from extinction in the Dutch province of Friesland. I’m savoring their unique taste, bite and shape. The Ananas Reinette, Redlove Sirena and Knobby Russet were apples I ate for the first time and fell in love with.

How come we don’t find these in the supermarket and in our gardens anymore?
