Pink Lady Apples

Southern Belle

Crisis!! Anyone have any idea why pink lady apples seem to have disappeared from supermarket shelves in the past month or so - can't get the yummy little feckers anywhere??!!

I've bought them every week in Dunnes, Superquinn, Tesco and M&S (wherever i decided to shop that week) over the last few months. They weren't in Superquinn this week though.

Yeah,,We missed them as well for the last few weeks..

But,,thankfully,,Was shopping in Dunnes Stores in Bishopscourt here in Cork on Saturday,and was delighted to see they had in a new supply of them.

They are all marked "New Season".

So,,keep an eye out for them.

They were missing in Tesco in Wexford for a while also but there was a plentiful supply of them on Saturday.

I asked in my local fruit&veg about this a few weeks ago. Was told they are out of season but would be back again in 6 weeks. They have them again this week, a bit small though!

Ok - heading to the shops this lunch time with my fingers crossed. Have never seen them disappear at this time of year before though.

Haven't seen them for a while as well. Must be out of season I guess.

I'm glad they're back in, I've been looking for them for weeks too

They're out of season at the moment. New batches should be coming at the start of June though.

They've returned to Dunnes in Waterford! Although they're not so much "Pink Ladies" as greenishy pink little girls :P Hopefully they'll improve in a few weeks.

The North european season finished several weeks ago.
There was gap while we waited for the arrival of the Southern hemp crop of Pink Ladies, mainly from Chile.

I love them but even buying them from a wholesaler they are about 35 cent an apple. And the whole saler is honest and said they cost about 3 times the price for him to buy compared to a gala apple.

Buying fruit from the fruit market in Dublin 1. You learn a fruit maybe out of season a month but its still on the shelves of a supermarket so it isnt that fresh

i also like them,, u will see them soon, they may have gone out of season for a while i guess.

If you want a cheaper option just look for Cripps Pink which happens to be Pink Lady(its a brand not a cultivar), you sometimes find it in the value packs in Dunnes and Tesco, it might not have the same high colouring but it tastes the same.
