Prep notes

Tarter, denser than a supermarket apple, more vitamin C than Fuji, less than Granny Smith. Pectin for jelly. True wild crabs are small; many 'crabs' in gardens are ornamentals — still edible if sour.

Caution

Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
