Default That apple you just bought might be a year old – but does it matter?

Depends on whether or not you like apples. I know plenty of people in
the NE US who live near orchards. They can go pick them fresh off the
trees. People who don't live near orchards make due with apples that
are shipped. I doubt they are a year old, though.
