dessert quality means eating it fresh, and not cooked usually, and
usually sweeter. like a granny smith is considered a cooking apple as
it is tart and hold shape when cooked and gives better flavor after
cooked. a red deliscious is a dessert apple as it has a sweeter
flavor., if you try to cook w/ it it just turns to mush and lacks any
flavor after cooked. some apples are good either way like a windsap.
with things like strawverries they usally have a sweet flavor w/ a
strong strawberry taste and usually have a larger size. my favorite of
this is honeyeo.

I was looking up strawberries and apples on the web, and many varieties
were described as having excellent dessert qualities. Wines are
sometimes described that way too. What are "dessert qualities"?
