I'm tired of wasting a large apple or pear because I am at work, or hiking, and cannot finish the entire fruit. I would much rather buy three small apples that cost as much as one gigantic one (or even a bit more) and not waste half a good fruit. Now, the reason I'd prefer this, is that apples and pears don't keep very well once you get into them and oftentimes I am not near a refrigerator when I am eating them.

I have found that bagged apples are usually smaller |
Ah, but at the most, I eat 2 apples a week. Mostly if my blood sugar goes down... |

Apples last for weeks if stored in the fridge. |
MOM's. |
Who only eats 2 apples a week! Apples are great. |
I agree with this. Balducci's often has those tiny pears--I can't think of the variety name. |
You can store them in your fridge. "Eat one apple a day and keep the doctor away" ![]() |

Juice it and drink what you can and freeze the rest. |
Cut them in half and wrap in plastic wrap or put in a baggie. |
I buy the bags of organic apples at Giant and they are much smaller than the ones that can be bagged individually. They are the perfect size for my kids with no waste. |
I am wondering how one is hungry enough to eat but not a whole apple? |
OK, they are the occasional snack for a diabetic. Better than Glucerna or glucose pills, in my opinion, because they are a natural source of fiber and vitamins along with the glucose needed if I have a sugar crash. So, once or twice a week I wind up eating one. Either as a snack or filler. |
