plantyhamchuk:swordsintheforest:vi0lentmoreviolets: Goth apples! These are indeed real!! They are from Black Diamond apples Nyingchi, Tibet. Aren’t they stunning? Nature is insane. Wonder what they taste like Wikipedia says: “The Black Diamond Apple (黑钻石) is a rare breed from the family of Hua Niu apples that is cultivated in the Tibetan region of Nyingchi. Despite what the name suggests, the apple rather is a purple hue, with white pulp on the inside.[1][2] Its unique color is due to the region’s high altitude. The temperature fluctuates wildly between day and night, with the apples being exposed to a lot of ultraviolet light, which is conducive to the dark skin.[3] Belonging to the high-end segment of the market, the average Black Diamond Apple costs about 50 yuan.[4] Many farmers are reluctant to grow the fruit, since its maturity process can take up to eight years.”An article in USA Today says: “However, if you won’t be near China anytime soon, the U.S. has its own darker breed of apple: the Arkansas Black. While not super dark, these apples are deeper in color than a standard Red Delicious and would make a fun stand-in at any Snow White-themed party.” -- source link
