Here's a bit of a quandary:
A recent purchase (apple) from a local food store (one of the major
stores in our area) turns out to be rotten on the inside, while on the
outside it still looks really nice and fresh..

What's up with that, and how would this kind of thing happen..? Also
had a couple peaches (same store) pretty much disintegrate on the
counter over a period of 4 days.

Is this a symptom of irradiated food?

????!

Nah.

No offense, but it's you not knowing how to pick the fruit from the
grocery bins. You can NOT go by just "looks!" :-)

Gentle fingernail flicks. Just like watermelons.

The fruit that "rings" is the best.

Mom taught me.
