Apple Tasting Notes (bought from farm stand) - General Fruit Growing - Growing Fruit
A few years back, I had bought a large variety of heirloom apples from an orchard in CT. Ashmed’s Kernel was one of the apples that I was able to try. Definitely agree with some of the other posters that it is a good eating apple. It was a sweet and tart apple with some spice elements. Golden russet was a bit similar in taste and look but in my sample the golden russet had higher brix and was a bit sweeter. If you like granny smith apples then I think you would like Ashmed’s Kernel (more complexity and sweetness than a granny smith but it would be a good proxy for the tart aspect).
