How The Cosmic Crisp Is Taking On America’s Favorite Apples
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- The Cosmic Crisp apple hit produce aisles across America on December 1, 2019. The variety came out of Washington State University's breeding program, which has been developing the apple for the past 20 years.
There are thousands of different kinds of apples on the market, and 2,500 of those are grown in the United States, like the Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and America's favorite, the Gala, which just beat out the Red Delicious variety for the first time ever in production, according to the U.S. Apple Association. And yet, scientists are still developing new varieties.
But it's not just breeding programs making hybrids of the fruits and vegetables nearly everyone is familiar with.There's also scientists across the globe working on creating new varieties, whether it be apples or berries, mushrooms, or even crops like rice and wheat. This innovation isn't just the controversial GMO kind. In fact, crops have been cross bred to produce new varieties for hundreds of years.
Here’s how how horticulturists and scientists create new varieties of fruits and vegetables, and why there's space in the produce aisle for innovation.

I’d tried it recently, and I have to say it’s pretty damn good. Slightly tart like a Granny Smith, solid crunch, but the sweetness of a honey crisp. Not mushy and unappetizing like gala apples.
gala are crispy when they are fresh, and stored properly. If it is in the middle of winter and they say product of U.S, or Canada, or any where else in North America, dont buy them, the are old, stored apples. Nothing worse than old, mushy apple.
I used to process gala apples fresh off the tree, I noticed the taste difference when I bought some from the store.
*_Yess!! I’m trying it for the 1st time too.. & I just said the same thing!!_* ❤
We got them in Denmark now it so good
I'm still waiting for genetically engineered bananas with high protein.
As someone who is allergic to bananas, I can't wait to eat bananas which are engineered to not have those allergens.
tonkonton i have an organic banana that is high in protien
is that some adult joke?
@@feelslikebatman6091 what I mean is...I am waiting for agro genetic industry to produce a banana that is safe for banana allergic people like me.
@@abhishekdev258 ah sorry im commenting on this post, sorry to @ you really.
Had my first one 2 days ago. Just went to the store to get more. Hands down the best apple I've ever had. I've had over 50 different varieties. This is my new favorite. Worth the price... $2.69 a lb in the Midwest
I know it's been a few years but .98 cents a lb all this winter and spring in Washington State.
these apples hit hard
Why buy Honey Crisp when you can buy Honey CRISPR?
Then next year, you can buy Honey CRISPR X
@@GameFuMaster The Honey More CRISPR*
@@GameFuMaster And then the year after, Honey CRISPR X Plus
Keep your apple-shaped chemical grenade! I only eat natural food.
@@Morhua1 (facepalm)
WOOOOSH
tried the cosmic crisp and it was tart on the first bite, then it had a sweet after taste. Very crunchy, juicy and crisp!
I got my Apple trees in my backyard... Hopefully they produce fruit this year.... That's why you need 2 Apple trees side by side for them to produce.
Trees breed?
@@MsEliteForever golden and granny Smith
@@MsEliteForever what you think?
@Oduokpe Ujiro 1 year... I didn't fertilize the first year so the roots can grow down, I'm fertilize this year....

Scientists just want to make "How you like dem apples?" jokes.
As a produce clerk, this video makes me have flashbacks.
Daniel Fuhrman lol i’m a produce worker in a supermarket too and i feel like i know so much about vegetables 😂
@@stanrefermat9751 spill the tea
I'm a produce clerk my self also and the honey crisp still sell faster then the comic. 1place honey crisp. 2nd is piñata apple and 3rd is cosmic
Cjvx720 huh.. these apples sell okay in our store. we don’t have piñata apples in this region; gala apples are our big seller, along with granny smith apples!
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German oh no... not the tomato fights....
It's simply the best apple I've ever tried. It made my day.
I just tried it and I honestly can’t believe how crispy it is it’s mind blowing
This is a VERY tasty apple. I sent my SO out to buy some in December 2019 as soon as I heard about them. And they are right about how long they last. I had one left in my fruit bowl for over three months, then I cut it in half and used it in a couple salads. The other half was in the fridge for a few weeks, it began to show a tiny bit of brown towards then end of April so I cut it up for a few salads. It was delicious and juicy and tart-sweet to the end of its life at the end of April. I can’t wait to get some more!!!
The real question I have is who is still eating red delicious apples 😝. The most tasteless apple in the market? I just tried the Cosmic Crisp this week and was impressed with it, especially for a large late season apple. It’s hard to find a good apple this large this late in the season and the price was much better than the Honeycrisps.
I've always preferred the pink lady.
Me too kid
@@medium-unit-onbreaksame, kid.
Honey crisp are the best I’ve had, but they’re like 2X the price
I agree with you, but other apples are also the bomb when it comes to taste, and it is still cheap.
Lun -ji The taste of other apples are great but honey crisp is not only sweet but also crunchy. Fuji apples are second to honey crisp in my opinion
The Cosmic Crisp in more expensive now than the Honey Crisp.
@@lemonheep Honeycrisp is so good it ruined other apples for me. Fujis and Galas now taste soulless by comparison.
fearlessreview no
Homer Simpson cross bred Tomato`s and Tobacco to make Tomacco`s. Tastes gross at first , but addicting.
"Daddy this tastes like Grandma"
c4manke LOL! 😂
Fuji Apple forever and always! The sweetest apple I've ever tasted! September here we come!
Yessss I’m surprised they didn’t mention it. Fuji apples are the best!
Fuji all day!
Have you ever tried spartan or empire? Some of my favourite, Fuji is great though.
Waldo, we haven’t seen any Empire here in California, I suppose we are too far west? I’d love to give them a try!
The Cosmic Crisp made me forget about the Honeycrisp. I never thought any apple would be better than the Honeycrisp, but the CC is far superior in my eyes (and mouth).
I’ll have to try it
I just tried my first Cosmic Crisp apple today. It’s by far the best apple I’ve ever tasted. Tasted like a pear, with the texture of an ultra crispy apple, and so juicy!
The Rise Of Apple
I've been following the cosmic crisp for years and they finally got them at my local store
I’m eating one now for the first time while watching this video 😅 I must say for some reason it taste wayyy better while watching this 😂… love how crunchy and juicy it is
Same lol
Love CNBC! Thanks for reuploading with Volume 🤗
matt, you just cleared your ear drum off that sticky wax.
only because of a podcast do I know about this apple!
Hello comment leaver.
Kazakhstan❤ That is where Almaty comes from, the root of the word is "alma" which is an apple in Kazakh, so Almaty literally means Apple city 🍎

Non-GMOers are gonna flat-earth this video so hard.
**Monsanto Intensifies**
@paul w Yes, it is actually. Every GMO crop has been examined and tested by the FDA, and no health risks have been found.
Yeah, because the problem isn't in the genetic engineering. The problem is that they engineer them to be more resistant to pesticides to allow for much larger amounts of pesticides to be used. GMO produce has much higher pesticide levels
^^THIS^^ this is the problem I have. Genetic Engineering, NO, not so much. BUT, genetically modified for the application of Tremendous amounts of pesticides and herbicides, VERY VERY MUCH a problem. Apples have a very thin skin, and the poisons also drip to the ground to be drawn from the soil and up into the tree along with its water. Silly me, I have a problem with feeding poisons to my grandchildren and I’m not much interested in noshing on any myself either.
But not all GMO is Monsanto, nor is all GMO bad, and Cosmic Crisp Apples are not technically GMO at all.
Wow! What a fun and informative video! Thanks for sharing. I’m enjoying a Cosmic Crisp apple now and am surprised how juicy and sweet is. Pricey, but I would get them again.
I only eat Fuji apples. Those are so good
Yep, hard to beat. I like Galas too, but the quality can be patchy.
Fujis seem to be more consistently good. 😋
i only drink Fuji water. it is so good
Eh honeycrisps seem really legit. Fuji Apples are everywhere in asia.
@@TheSuperi9 I think you meant Fiji water?
Pink lady's are best
Best apples I’ve ever had
My favorite is Granny Smith. Have a 15’ apple tree since I love them so much.
Nothing beats the pink lady apples
This apple is amazing!!!
Lovely video, thanks for posting 👍
GM foods are overwhelmingly good for humans. The benefits of this technology are vast and the shortcomings can be negated with better regulation which is needed. Where these foods are most useful is in impoverished countries. GM crops such as Golden Rice are groundbreaking advances in nutrition for the disadvantaged. And while they are not the end all be all, they are a necessary part of combating climate change and helping to feed a world of 8 to 10 billion.
@** I could say you're the one that has been brainwashed.. So your comment is useless.
@** Do some research.
Love your videos
Johnny Appleseed wasn't planting Apples for eating! Obviously! It was for drinking! Potable water was non-existent and the only thing they could safely drink was beer or wine. Without many native grapes, apples were needed in any frontier town so that they could make hard Cider and have something safe to drink. Eventually, along the way, one of those crab apple trees sprung up with big juicy fruits, like a red delicious and they've been Grafting them onto crab apple tree trunks ever since! Make a lot more money on apples for eating. 👍🏼 Btw, I highly recommend 'The Botany of Desire' by Michael Pollan
I work in a apple orchard and we just planted cosmic crips last year
Isn’t it patented and only allowed to grow in two states? Is it Washington and Colorado?
Yes here in Washington
Send me a cutting
EXCELLENT VID, THANKS!
Gala apples took over as my favorite the first time I had them many years ago but Honeycrisp was a game-changer. The Cosmic Crisp is good but nowhere near good enough to dethrone it.
Honeycrisp and gala are also my favorite. Honeycrisp slightly edges gala for me too.
Agreed, Honeycrisp is way better than Cosmic Crisp. My favorite is Honeycrisp, then Fuji.
@@Brandon-jw5cv honey crisp: too tart and too hard, not juicy at all and not vrry sweet. Fuji was my favorite when Texas Galas went away. Now Cosmic Crisp is taking the lead. I had 29 varieties of citrus producing B4 last February's freeze, so I really like juicy sweet fruit. And Cosmic is way ahead.
Cosmic beats honey imo
I disagree. I felt like the cosmic crisp was better than the honey crisp in every way. Taste, texture, juiciness, etc. To each their own.
Food shouldn't have patents
Subzero, how about you work on creating a new apple for 20 years, and we take away your ability to patent, and then we discuss this again? 😆
Chinese will clone this apple in couple of years
I didn’t know tat apple can being many different types,to me,apple is just an apple,how ordinary am I LOL
The red delicious hasn't been popular for some time, they just happened to be more available for a long time.
It's not even a secret.
being a fruit lover.. love the video!
i love the way this was recorded, edited and voice over. very talented people working at CNBC.
Cosmic crisp - really good texture and striking sweetness
Patenting Food item is a disaster for everyone except the big corporates like Monsanto!
Somewhere in another dimension a certain cowgirl named Applejack is glued to her television watching this CNBC special. XD
Awesome! 🤩
Fuji ftw
Gala beat out Red Delicious because growers started selecting for Red Delicious cultivars that produced large, beautifully-shaped, dark-red fruit that ultimately tasted "starchy and bland", while Gala is a newer cultivar that hasn't been wrecked by such "optimization" yet.
Bruh the soil in the USA is just garbage. Every apple I've ate in Nepal has been delicious.
Same with Taiwanese grown apples as I am living there now.
@@zeekf.3839 I was talking specifically about the Red Delicious variety. And it's not the soil, it's the cultivars growers have chosen to plant.
@@zeekf.3839
It's due to the cultivar, not the area of growth. I'm from canada, I live next to an apple orchard with dozens of different types of apples. Red delicious are just plain garbage, nothing you do will make them taste great - if they were grown in nepal they would taste bland - That orchard grows spartans a stones throw away from red delicious, the spartans are delicious and the red delicious are bland and flavourless.
In my home orchard in Missouri I have a Red Delicious scion on one of my trees that comes from a tree that first grew in 1905. The fruit is better than the Red Delicious in the grocery store. But, it is not as disease resistant as my Enterprise. I think that disease resistance has a lot to do with the quality of the fruit for those of us that don't use chemicals.
GMO is a blessing, you have to accept it if you want the better future for your children. We have to change genes not just of our food, but of our children to make them healthier, stronger, smarter.
ХОРОШО
We survived this long without GMOs, we will survive without them.
You have GOT to be a troll. No actual real person could possibly say something so stupid.
@@picturetaker3997 No, we don't. We used GMO for thousand of years, google how wild bananas are actually looking like. And we genetically modified our children too, bringing 10-15 offsprings for only 2-3 with the best genes to survive. If you want to return to these methods you have to remove healthcare and let children to survive naturally. Otherwise genes pool will be completely polluted after generations. And alternatively you can just modify genes, and make children healthy from the start.
Picturetaker literally everything we eat are GMOs
476 Anno Domini
There is a huge difference between genetically modifying something and selective cross breeding.
Pink Lady is the best! Crispy, very sweet, a bit tangy and has a subtle taste of wine. And yeah, they last very long!
The cosmic Crisp is so much like the honey crisp, it's very hard to tell the difference if you don't look at the color.
Envy’s are my favorite it’s the perfect apple no other apple comes near the taste and texture of the Envy
I’m proud of being a coug 🐾 #gocougs #washingtonstateuniversity #wazzu
Let's go!
fourth! Glad you found the audiofile :)
9:14 Isn't the "scare" because of media in the first place?
Hello Prof. Kate Evans & other spokesperson, a nice presentation on the apple origin dating back to many centuries in general & a new variety of Cosmic Crisp amongst other in particular by your University. Indeed, a great job done on your part, Ma'am; which deserves special appreciations, kindly advise, as to how, one could get growing rights for this apple variety from your State University, as I wanna grow same in my ancestral apple orchard(s) in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. Kind Regards,
Capt. Harish Chandel
Beautiful
Nice little Apple ad you tried sneaking in there.
Fuji and Gala for the win!
Ha! The only ones I eat, lol. 😋
GMO scientists should stream on Twitch or something to help people get more familiar with the process.
Love Cosmic Crisp. It reminds me of my Gravensteins with more sweet less tart and stores better.
Waited years for the Cosmic Crisp 🍎 to be released. After finally tasting it, I was completely underwhelmed. Sticking with Honeycrisp.
However, as for this video, I liked it a lot. Very informative. For anyone who wants more content like this, watch Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire. There's a whole section just like this devoted to how the apple helped shape human culture.
I was a bit disappointed by the cosmic crisp. I think its going to be tough to dethrone the honeycrisp.
The Envy variety is delicious. Been eating those everyday.
Granny smith is one of my favourites
How come FUJI apple is no on list?
I only want cosmic crisp apples so when are we getting them this year?
New Zealand apples are great, too
Pink Lady apples for the win!!
India's Himalayan apples are best
My problem with the red delicious came about in the late 90s when for some reason they started showing up in supermarkets undersized and tannic as heck. That's when I stopped buying it. The industry says that people fell out of love with the red delicious but I don't think that's what happened, I think that they got greedy and it came to bite them in the ace. The flavor of the red delicious grown well has an almost rose water quality to it and is not overly sweet. It makes the most refreshing apple juice you've ever had. I don't see it going away any time soon.
Not from the US, but gala apples are unbelievably good
Down here in the middle coast of Texas we do not have a good apple rootstock variety. Also the warm humid nights cause heavy fungal damage on apple trees. And we have very little chill hours. So I grow mostly citrus.
If cosmic crisp grew and produced here I would want a tree. They are not very tart and not too crisp. And just the right sweetness.
I love apples, but I never even heard of them before. I just bought some today at 3 bucks a pound wtf. at that price, they better be good. I love honey crisp, and enterprise apples, so these should be my new fav.
Changing 🍅 genes with better 🍅 genes is Good but people are afraid 😬 of it
People are idiots
** you are a idiot
The fear will disappear.
** what the hell do you think all the cows and pigs are eating ? If you understood the science you wouldn’t be afraid of it yet you call me a sheep. Your the sheep you just parrot the same garbage everyone else does.
4:49 "Root stock shoot", not "Rootstock chute".
Honey Crisp is my favorite!
👋🏿🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤👍🏿
De Elstar appel is de lekkerste appel !
Yeeeeaaaah buddy. Lightweight baby
It’s super crispy but also super sweet maybe even a little to sweet, but at the same time im sensitive to sugar
I love Michigan apples
Fuji could be the best low key. So many options though.
Imagine an apple without a hard and seed filled core...get on it science!
Who else is eating a Cosmic Crisp while watching this? 😮
New Produce?
Washington State makes the best apples in the world.
Fruits from apple with Hollywood, Cosmic 🍎!
Cosmic Crisp are ok in terms of flavor, but its not super sticky and it is the most crisp apple I've ever had
definitely crispy salty slightly sour taste but not sweet in comparing to gala apple. Got to try it.
I’m munching on one right now, and it’s got a great flavor profile (tart but still sweet) and a great crunch
GMO reduces use of pesticide and antibiotics. But it would have a very unmanageable effect on wild plants and animals when they inter-breed.
But, there are technologies to make GMO plants and animals making them infertile/sterile.
But Michael Bloomberg said ,"Dig a hole, add water and up comes the corn.". 🤣🤣🤣
Bloomberg is so on point he can produce several varieties of produce in minutes. He just asks his butler to buy some.
why aren't more Apple products named after the different varieties
Trademarks.
Otherwise, great idea 😁
Big fan of Jazz apples
