@@kleo.eternal Apple juice mostly, we just made a new batch of it from those apples. Very common in Lithuania, have a couple of those apple trees in my yard actually.
@RikkiTikkiTavi not antonovka that's a late apple ;) this is one of the earliest apples to ripen and people use it for compote and а very smooth jam. All and all its an inferior apple outside of it being the first to ripen
These apples are similar to old Finnish apples. Especially the white one, which is called 'valkeakuulas' or clear white in Finland, and it is made to be eaten fresh. Many apple varieties in Finland are super tart, they might have a bit like wine aroma. Then there are some traditional apples that taste like cinnamon without any tartness (kaneliomena/cinnamon apple). Nordic apples are mostly quite small.
Weird Fruit Explorer: "What are these apples? I've never seen apples like this!" Me, in Helsinki: "Yeah, those are apples." I'm pretty sure I have both kinds, or at least something very similar, growing in my back yard. Can't confirm the exact variety, though, since the trees were here before I moved in. And yes, we get way more every year than we could possibly use.
Yeah, they're called White Transparent in English, there is a Wikipedia page for them you all can check out. For some reason in Sweden we call them by the French name Transparente Blanche instead of having it translated into our own language, like the Finns and the Estonians. It's a very common apple in Sweden.
I'm from Poland and those white apples are common here, and they're my favourite! And you quessed correctly, the apple pie with those white apples is the best :)
Yeah, White Transparent is an amazing apple until its overripe or underipe. It gotta be just right 😔 Edit: that apple you pushed a finger in is definitely too ripe too lmao
And when the apple tree is growing in the right spot, when it is treated right, when extra twigs are removed at the start of the season -THEN it would be a whole different experience on you tasting them. They can become sugary, really -partially translucent, still soft but rich tasting! Often even the core has fluid in it which you can drink too, and it can become very messy experience too, in a good way, i mean. I am from Latvia too. My grand grand mother had a few of these trees in her garden. They were old, big, but well kept and in good years they gave an excellent harvest. Apple you tried in Estonia was... I would say maybe 5 out of 10 quality.
@@gunners6034 I feel like this was intended to be a comment and not a reply to my comment lmao. Also yeah! Here in Lithuania the apple trees of White Transparent needs that treatment at first. My grandma still has one apple tree left and it's so good and you can't compare to whatever people sell in like makers even if it's from their gardens, I'm yet to find the exact same apple tree apples because no idea how it got treated to have such a distinct taste 😳
Transparents are tricky: when picked from the tree, it is unripe, when picked under the tree, it is overripe. So you have to wait and catch a falling apple. Then it is good.
In German those white apples are called "Klarapfel" meaning clear apple. They ripen all at once on the tree and last about a day. They bruise very easily.
When I saw the title and the thumbnail I instantly clicked on it because these kind of apples (the soft ones) are pretty common in Lithuania as well as in other Baltic states if I am not mistaken. You can eat them, but as you said - we use them more for the dishes than for just eating them raw. Some people in Lithuania call them "Miltiniai obuoliai" (translation: "Flour apples") because of its bizarre texture. If this was weird for you than you should try flowering quince (Svarainis in Lithuanian). It is also refered by the locals as lithuanian lemon. From my experience, if you take the syrup from the fruit and mix it with the water, it makes the tastiest drink which is also somewhat healthy, but you can also try to it it as it is if you want.

The white one is barely used for cooking. In Germany it is called Klarapfel/Augustapfel - it is because it is the first apple of the year. Edible in late July. The ones you had were seriously overripe. They get dry and mealy super fast. They have a ripeness window of like an hour on Tuesday night between 2am and 3am. Before that? Sour. After that? Mealy. But when perfectly ripe... oh boy is it delicious! It is great for cake though. But it is mostly eaten fresh. Also it is not good for sale. It has to be eaten within at least two days after picking.
The yellow/pale apple is White Transparent Malus Domestica. It's super common all along Baltic region and countries around it. It's superb for jam and cyder.
Haha I was meeting up with a friend from the US when I was in Tartu, Estonia and we went into some lovely neighborhood. There they grew everywhere as well. My friend just grabbed some of a tree and ate them. He liked them. I'm not an apple fan though. I loved all the berries over there!
The varity `White Transparent` is very common all over europe, it is ripe very early around july, gives good yields and is great for processing, this varity is the basis for apple sauce and apple strudel, sometimes also for jucing. If you want to eat it fresh, you should do so within one week after it is ripe in july, otherwise the texture is not very plesent like you experienced. The second one is likely just 'Pinova' oder 'Elstar'
@@WeirdExplorer Apples are a great fruit to focus on in temperate climates but I'd also suggest being on the lookout for strange plums. In Europe there are a lot of regional plum varieties not widely available in the US, quite a few of them small and somewhat astringent but interesting non the less
What I love most about your channel is how you show up as you. If ppl like you, cool. If not, oh well I'll still be here snackin on fruits you never knew existed. 🤷🏻♂️💁🏻♂️
I never thought I would see so many episode about apples on a channel called "Weird Explorer", but I like it. I never knew there were so many strange varieties of apples.
We call the white ones summer apples. You want to pick them less ripe that the one you had. They are usually just eaten, sometimes juiced (small yield), mostly they are preserved as applesauce or they can be baked in pies. The advantage of this variety is that these are the first apples to ripen in the season and there are loads of them on the trees.
Looks like Transparant Blanche. They are indeed good for making apple sauce. It is an early variety and is used as an eating apple only when it is perfectly ripe.
Those apples are quite common in Czechia, we got them in our garden. Locally they are called "Jadernička", which could be translated as "seed apple", they are also called "wine apple" ... supposedly they are quite popular in Moravia region in Czechia. Though I don't think they are sold in commercial supermarkets. More like farmers market or just grown in private gardens, they're bit small to enjoy for consumption, so ... they probably end up more likely as home made apple juice or alcohol. Sometimes they're also called "transparent summer apples", supposedly they come from the Baltic area (didn't know that).
The white apple looks very similar to the Yellow Transparent that grows here in New Brunswick, Canada. Not sure if it the same variety or not. We also called them August apples as they are an early variety. My Aunt use to use them to bake with.
That was my thought as well. Not the greatest apple in the taste and texture department, but has the distinct advantage of being the first apples of the season.
These are probably very old cultivars. We in Poland have some similar apples, but I must admit they gradually disappear from the market since they don't preserve well. Please google "antonówka", "papierówka". I guess the white one you've tried might be connected to "papierówka" or be exactly the same cultivar, since "papierówka" originally comes from the Baltic countries.
Before Covid, I would go to a fruit tasting event with several hundred varieties of apples and pears every October. It's amazing how many different varieties of apples there are. Apples originally came from Kazakhstan.
I'm not sure about what specific varieties those are but local apples here up north in Finland and Estonia are smaller like that due to the climate. In Finland I mainly use local apples for jam or apple pies. Grocery stores sell mainly imported ones for eating.
Hi Jared. I have eaten a lot of these apples. My grandparents had these appletrees on their farm next to several other fruittrees lik pears, plums, , etcetera.Small apples, sweet, ripen very fast so you have to eat them when they ready to consume.The yellow/green ones are mild, soft peel, birds start feeding on them fast so you have to be quick if you like these apples.Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
Here's an amazing list for you to try: Reds: Pink Pearl, Pink Sparkle, Geneva, Mountain Rose, Hidden Rose Mott’s Pink, Grenadine, Scarlett Surprise, Firecracker, Almatta Others: Cox's Orange Pippin, Cosmic Crisp, Cortland, Rubinette, Golden Russet, black oxford, Arkansas black, golden orange, pink lady, Grimes golden, king, northern spy, opal, white transparent, Granny Smith
These apples usually have different sizes, textures and levels of sweetness depending on the growth phase. Hope you found more exciting berries in Estonia than just these common apples!
My favourite Estonian apple is Golden Reinette (Liivi kuldrenett). The apple is quite hard and when it is just right it's a bit transparent. I wish you could have tried that one.
Legit just bought five types of apples just because it was the biggest variety of fruit available of one type where I am lol thanks for all the great influence
In Indiana we had a variety of apple - a cooking apple - that looks and sounds like the 'white one', it was called a 'Transparent'. Although they were usually a bit bigger. Used for applesauce and pies.
English name of it is White Transparent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Transparent Other local names: Estonian: Valge klaar Finnish: Valkea kuulas French: Transparente blanche German: Klarapfel Latvian: Baltais Dzidrais Lithuanian: Popierinis Polish: Papierówka Russian: Белый налив, Папировка (the latter is considered similar, but separate cultivar) Slovak: Priesvitné letné Swedish: Transparente Blanche
Those both look and sound awesome. I've been eating dozens of apples over the past week (Granny Smith, half the time..with a big jar of old-fashioned caramel sauce for dippin..it's my new addiction lmao)..
They have very delicate and pleasant taste when ripe however bruise easy and go bad fast. Can be stored longer if picked up green. They are hard and acidic while unripe. Period of time when they are available is fairly short. They bloom, fruit early and they gone. You can classify them as heirloom cultivar.
May I suggest Tashkent, Uzbekistan. They have a variety of tashkent fig there, it grows flat and round, stays yellow, self polinates and tastes like honey. There's also lots of other amazing fruit and melon cutivars preserved there from trade on the silk road.
Don’t know if you’re still there or have already tried them, but if you run across Marzipan chocolate bars - give them a go. All flavor varieties are great
I think it's the other way around, the white ones are for consumtion by hand and the other one for cooking. It looks kind of like 'Transparente blanche'. In the right conditions the fruit become transparent/see through.
I wonder how difficult it would be to import scions from those trees. One nice thing about apples is, it's easy to graft mix of varieties on a single tree.
i like that apple texture, when you let them get really yellow they are can get very sweet. i have an apple tree in my garden producing those kinds of apples, i think.
The soft apple looks like a Transparent Apple. In the Midwest the make fruit in July. Soft and mealy, with a translucent skin. Typically used for stewing.
hey if you go to Brazil one day search for an Gillyflower lemon (limão cravo) it looks like spoiled by the outside but the inside is sooo juicy and sour
My folks had an apple tree that had wierdly whitish super sour apples. Best pies! They were softer and barely ripe when they dropped. Weird white apple stories!😜 PEACE
I live in (southern) Germany here we have these kinda yellowish apples in some places they aren’t really used for anything besides cooking. When I was young me and my sister would pick them up from the ground, throw them at each other and smack them in the air with sticks, fun times.
@@upandownbackdown Dude, worldwide average temperatures have only increased about 1 degree, so not enough to make any significant difference. The Earth goes in natural cycles, we had an ice-age, now we're having a slightly-warm-age...
These look similar to the apples we used to grow in our yard . Had a couple of strange apple trees , very small, tart and tasty . I live im the southern us though lol
You should go to Normandy to try dozens of varieties of apples that have bern cultivated since the 8 or 900... 3 or 4 varietals of pippins, "potato" apples similar to the boskop, the clochard and chanteclerc...
Welcome to Estonia! Your fruit reviews are very fun to watch. The white apple ("Valge klaarõun", eng "white-clear-apple") is the most common variety here in Estonia, and it's widely eaten just like this "out-of-hand". When overripe, they get mushy and powdery, but the best time to eat these fresh, is end of august - september. There are quite a few varieties of apple bred here, that are delicious , including: * Marzipan * Sõstraroosa (eng. "Currant Pink") If you're interested, you can see the photos of these and other varieties commonly available on this page (Use Google Translate): e-aiand.com/index.php/sordid/19-ounasordid/taliounad
Come to sweden visit a apple farmer i south sweden we got alots of variant of apples Alice, Aroma , Filippa. The white one is it " Alice "Transparente blanche"? Lite bit of season however as its more summer apple...
Nah I live in Sweden just north of Stockholm and my grandmothers garden have apples ranging from this size to giant apples. It all comes down to which variatey it is. But the most common varieties are smaller, yes.
in Russia we have similar ones. the second apple looks like our sort "Antonovka", but minute. it is too sour for me, though it is the most common variety in our northern gardens
Oh my gosh, I grew up in the region and I know people around me loved those soft, grainy apples like that white one. I always hated them, ahaha. But I do think a lot of people really do eat them raw (just like the texture, I guess?). I only liked them when they were still crisp, tho. I'm surprised you said it (the white one) wasn't tart at all, I remember them as being a little tart usually, tho that might depend on their stage of ripeness or mb just varies from apple to apple or crop to crop. They have a lot of varieties of apple you don't find elsewhere there, some might be older heirlooms, others are probably cultivars from the USSR.
The look and size of them seem like some of the varieties of crabapple. Even the description of the taste and textures of them. I have seen many different varieties of crabapples in my years. Growing up we had one variety that was the size of a large marble, our neighbors had 2 trees that were the size of the ones you have, one yellow, one red.
Hello, Prague, Czech Republic (Central Europe) here, I really don't think these apples are prominently "Estonian", at least I remember my grandparents in southern Bohemia (near Písek, Strakonice), growing several trees with those white apples, calling them "summer apples", we used to hate them, they were starchy, not very sweet, as if the fruit was mixed with flour, they bruised super easily, and my grandmother processed them into an apple roll called "štrůdl" (German struddel), which was kinda okay. The colorful ones were growing on trees by state roads and highways, often covering ground by the roads, people used to call them "padančata" (apples that fell by themselves, diminutive, meaning inferior, bad apples). They were also mediocre in taste and texture, but I guess they were natural cultivars, not the over-cultivated monsters we are trained to expect in supermarkets today. Remember that eastern and western blocs were isolated, so I guess these apple trees were pretty much wide spread and common in the whole Eastern Bloc (which included Estonia, Latvia, Livonia, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Eastern Germany). Okay for cooking and jams, bad for everything else.
Just the thing needed to commemorate All Saints’ Day: an informative video about Estonian apples. I had a former “Russian” co-worker-who was actually Estonian, “legally”-speaking. 🤔Gotta ask him about this...
How would you use that white apple?
eat
Eat, I actually like soft apples lmao

My folks had an apple tree that had wierdly whitish super sour apples. Best pies! They were softer and barely ripe when they dropped. Weird white apple stories!😜 PEACE
You should do more outdoorish reviews sort of like your trip overseas, being indoors is weird!
What are the oldest native apples in Estonia?
Is quince popular there?
I live in (southern) Germany here we have these kinda yellowish apples in some places they aren’t really used for anything besides cooking. When I was young me and my sister would pick them up from the ground, throw them at each other and smack them in the air with sticks, fun times.
Hmm you should taste the Klarapple original from Riga
Dude, you should try Blackthorn or Sloe in Scandinavia. We have plenty, it is a health fruit and it is great after it's frozen.
When was this filmed? It seems rather warm for how I would imagine Estonia in November!
Global warming is a bitch
It was filmed in late summer I think
@@upandownbackdown Dude, worldwide average temperatures have only increased about 1 degree, so not enough to make any significant difference.
The Earth goes in natural cycles, we had an ice-age, now we're having a slightly-warm-age...
@@-jank-willson obviously in the August/September range. November in Estonia is a polar heat wave.
Has there been more video lately or am I imagining it
We grow very similar at my parents kolonistuga in Stockholm, Sweden.
These look similar to the apples we used to grow in our yard . Had a couple of strange apple trees , very small, tart and tasty . I live im the southern us though lol
How about perfume fruit I mean fruit who have nice smell when we slice it. Try bisbul fruit
You should go to Normandy to try dozens of varieties of apples that have bern cultivated since the 8 or 900...
3 or 4 varietals of pippins, "potato" apples similar to the boskop, the clochard and chanteclerc...
Welcome to Estonia! Your fruit reviews are very fun to watch.
The white apple ("Valge klaarõun", eng "white-clear-apple") is the most common variety here in Estonia, and it's widely eaten just like this "out-of-hand". When overripe, they get mushy and powdery, but the best time to eat these fresh, is end of august - september. There are quite a few varieties of apple bred here, that are delicious , including:
* Marzipan
* Sõstraroosa (eng. "Currant Pink")
If you're interested, you can see the photos of these and other varieties commonly available on this page (Use Google Translate): e-aiand.com/index.php/sordid/19-ounasordid/taliounad
The white one is called "Belyj Naliv" - it's a Summer apple - first one to get ripe. They become soft because they are ober-ripe.

I swear, in every video he looks like hes making an apology video like the "huuuuuuuuh hello everyone"
You missed out on another sort we have here, the best translation for their name would be "little sugars" and they are super sweet.
Did you ever been to lithuania
Come to sweden visit a apple farmer i south sweden we got alots of variant of apples Alice, Aroma , Filippa. The white one is it " Alice
"Transparente blanche"? Lite bit of season however as its more summer apple...
Those are about as big as the apples that grow in these northern climes.
Nah I live in Sweden just north of Stockholm and my grandmothers garden have apples ranging from this size to giant apples. It all comes down to which variatey it is. But the most common varieties are smaller, yes.
in Russia we have similar ones. the second apple looks like our sort "Antonovka", but minute. it is too sour for me, though it is the most common variety in our northern gardens
Oh my gosh, I grew up in the region and I know people around me loved those soft, grainy apples like that white one. I always hated them, ahaha. But I do think a lot of people really do eat them raw (just like the texture, I guess?). I only liked them when they were still crisp, tho. I'm surprised you said it (the white one) wasn't tart at all, I remember them as being a little tart usually, tho that might depend on their stage of ripeness or mb just varies from apple to apple or crop to crop.
They have a lot of varieties of apple you don't find elsewhere there, some might be older heirlooms, others are probably cultivars from the USSR.
These are just like the 2 most typical Scandinavian apples i would say
Those have some Crab Apple in their pedigree. I prefer them over Super Market apples any day
The look and size of them seem like some of the varieties of crabapple. Even the description of the taste and textures of them.
I have seen many different varieties of crabapples in my years. Growing up we had one variety that was the size of a large marble, our neighbors had 2 trees that were the size of the ones you have, one yellow, one red.
sophisticated dry mouth was my nickname in high school.
what is apple sauce even? I'm in Australia, we don't have that. What is it even used on?
I'm from Russia and there is many kinds of sauces with apples, sometimes it's mixed with tomatoes, sometimes with sweet chilli.
Hello, Prague, Czech Republic (Central Europe) here, I really don't think these apples are prominently "Estonian", at least I remember my grandparents in southern Bohemia (near Písek, Strakonice), growing several trees with those white apples, calling them "summer apples", we used to hate them, they were starchy, not very sweet, as if the fruit was mixed with flour, they bruised super easily, and my grandmother processed them into an apple roll called "štrůdl" (German struddel), which was kinda okay. The colorful ones were growing on trees by state roads and highways, often covering ground by the roads, people used to call them "padančata" (apples that fell by themselves, diminutive, meaning inferior, bad apples). They were also mediocre in taste and texture, but I guess they were natural cultivars, not the over-cultivated monsters we are trained to expect in supermarkets today. Remember that eastern and western blocs were isolated, so I guess these apple trees were pretty much wide spread and common in the whole Eastern Bloc (which included Estonia, Latvia, Livonia, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Eastern Germany). Okay for cooking and jams, bad for everything else.
Read the book 'Apples are from Kazakhstan'.
Just the thing needed to commemorate All Saints’ Day:
an informative video about Estonian apples.
I had a former “Russian” co-worker-who was actually Estonian, “legally”-speaking.
🤔Gotta ask him about this...
Try varigated calamansi
apple fragrance?
