An Opal a Day...so they say!

I received a coupon from Bzzagent to purchase Opal Apples for free in return for my thoughts on them.  The grocery store that I regularly shop at did not carry the apples, so I checked on the list for stores.  The first 2 stores I tried, from the list, did not carry them at all.  By my fourth store I was finally able to find the apples.  My family loves apples, we go through a lot during a week, so I generally buy the apples that are on sale that week.  With my $5 coupon I was able to only purchase 4 apples.  Without the coupon this would not be an apple that I would purchase for my family, it just isn't in the budget for us.  The sticker on the apple said sweet, so I surprised that they were a bit more tart then I anticipated.  They had a nice crisp and crunch to them that my whole family enjoyed.  My boys liked the little bit of tart, but I had wished they were a little bit sweeter.  As they are labeled as a non browning apple, I left them on the counter, cut, for 3+ hours and they did not brown.  I was rather impressed with that.  So in conclusion, while the apple did taste good and didn't brown, because of the price I will probably not purchase them again.
