The Cosmic Crisp finally arrives after multimillion-dollar hype (via EaterSeattle)
Already, it seems that the Cosmic Crisp is in high demand, at least in this area. The U Village QFC sold out of its supply on the first day it had them, and had another 80 cases delivered on Tuesday . More QFCs will start selling them around the city, from Capitol Hill to West Seattle, by Wednesday. Display cases at many of these locations have already been set up at the very front of the store.
Eater visited a local Safeway on Rainier Ave S, near Mount Baker, on Tuesday morning and found the Cosmic Crisp stock already running low by 8:30 a.m. The price was $3.49 per pound, 50 cents higher than the Honeycrisps, and a full $1.50 more than many other apple varieties. Worth the extra cost? Well, that’s always debatable. It’s ... an apple. The skin has a nice texture and there’s plenty of sugar with each bite, even if it was hard to distinguish between the regular Honeycrisp. It’s also supposed to be slow to brown, and after over an hour leaving a half-eaten one on the table, there didn’t seem to be significant difference in color. Eater has yet to put it through the rigors of baking, which was another selling point.
