Take the Apple Taste Test

Put your taste buds to the test by trying different types of apples to see how scientists have evolved this fabulous fruit over hundreds of years.

Have you ever walked around the produce section of the grocery store? There are many different types of apples. Some are bright red, while others are yellow or green. Some may be tart, while others are sweet. Why are there different varieties of apples?

In this activity, you’ll taste different types of apples sold in your area and to identify what makes them different. You might even develop an opinion on which cultivar you favor based on taste and texture!

This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Plant Science Series. See the rest of the activities here.
