Granny Smith Apple Festival in Eastwood a week ago.

It was in Eastwood in 1868 that Granny Smith started cultivating the sour green apples. Hence the festival every year.
Does anyone actually eat raw Granny Smith apples??🍏 They’re so sour!!

I love apples, but we have different varieties.

Awesome.

I used to eat them raw, but have found some apples I enjoy better that way. They're still good for cooking.

I never liked Granny Smith 😖

Granny Smiths are my favourite apples! How cool that they have their own festival.

Great capture. Yeah, they are a little bit too sour for me.

My favorite apple!

[Issi Bannerman]

Used to be my favourite apple until I became allergic to raw fruit. I loved the tartness.

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I think the overall opinion is that there a bit tart raw but are great cooked.
