Wow! Thanks for the info Park1! I was captured by the apple on taste alone but the details are sure nice to have! Organic of course... we gotta
go organic with apples! We see the film clips all the time of trucks/guys with spraying equipment dousing the commercial versions with all sorts of creepies.
And then the habit of waxing for the sake of longevity. And the soils that the organics are grown in are far superior (due to proper management) than
the commercial versions that rely mostly on manufactured fertilizers.

The way things are grown anymore it's essentially necessary to run toward organic as a means of providing something of a firewall against the onslaught
of current (and developing) commercial habits!
