Sour Apple is the most straightforwardly sour thing in the Faded Fruits line. Green apple underneath, with a heavy acidic coating that hits before the fruit does. If you buy sour laces or sour worms in an ordinary sweet shop, this is the flavour here that will feel most familiar.

What it tastes like
Sharp first, sweet second. The coating carries genuine acidity rather than the token dusting some sour sweets use, so the initial hit is properly tart before the green apple base comes through. The apple note is confected rather than orchard fresh, which suits the format.
It is the natural counterpoint to the sweet end of the range. Where Cotton Candy Kush and Grape Ape lean entirely on sugar, this one resets your palate, which is exactly why people keep both open at once.
Strength and working out your dose
Read the piece count on the back before anything else. The 500mg on the front describes the whole pouch, and dividing it by the number of pieces gives you the only figure that matters. Ten pieces means 50mg each, twenty means 25mg. Production runs differ, so this is a per pouch check rather than a one off.
One thing worth knowing with the sour flavours specifically: the acidic coating makes it tempting to eat a piece quickly rather than in fractions, because the sourness is most of the enjoyment and it sits on the outside. Resist that. Cut the piece first and accept that a fragment carries less coating. Our dosing guide explains why fractions matter.
Who reaches for this one
Anyone who finds most cannabis edibles too sweet, which is a larger group than the market seems to assume. It is also a good pick for people who dislike the artificial fruit flavours in this category generally, since the acidity dominates enough that the flavouring underneath matters less.
It carries an indica label, though it reads as brighter than that suggests on taste alone. In an edible the label is a soft cue rather than a promise, as our guide to strain labels in edibles sets out.
Checking your pouch is genuine
The coating gives you an extra check here that other flavours do not. Genuine production applies it evenly across every piece, so a bag where some gummies are heavily crusted and others nearly bare points to small scale hand finishing rather than a factory line. Combine that with the usual checks: crisp print, even colour, a heat seal running the full width without a doubled line, and no fusing inside.
Because potency here is a manufacturer claim rather than a tested figure, as the US Food and Drug Administration has repeatedly noted, start below what you think you need with any new pouch. Our guide to spotting a counterfeit has the full list.
Storage
Sour coatings are more vulnerable to humidity than plain sugar ones, because the acid draws moisture readily. An open pouch left in a kitchen or bathroom will go tacky within days and the coating will dissolve into a film, which costs you the best part of the flavour. Reseal properly every time, keep it somewhere cool, dark and dry, and expect six to twelve months of good condition. Store it locked away from children and pets.
The flavour guide covers every option, and bulk cases are in the boxes range.
How it compares in the range
Sour Apple sits at one end of a spectrum that runs from acidic to purely sweet, and knowing where the others fall makes building a selection easier. Lime Diesel is the only other genuinely sharp option, though its sourness is citric rather than the apple acid used here. Grapefruit Haze is bitter rather than sour, which is a different sensation again and more divisive. Everything else in the line leans sweet to some degree, with Blue Slush carrying just enough of a sour finish to sit in the middle. If you are ordering more than one pouch, pairing this with a sweet option gives you somewhere to go when your palate tires of either.
Frequently asked questions
How sour is Sour Apple 500mg?
Genuinely sour rather than lightly dusted. The coating carries real acidity that hits before the green apple base comes through, closer to sour laces than to a standard fruit gummy.
How strong is each piece?
The 500mg is the pouch total. Divide by the piece count on the back, commonly giving 50mg per piece, which is several standard dispensary servings.
Does the sour coating come off if I cut a piece?
Partly, yes. A fragment carries less coating than a whole piece, which is a small trade off for accurate dosing. Cut anyway.
Why does my pouch feel sticky?
Sour coatings draw moisture more readily than plain sugar. Press the resealable strip fully closed after every use and keep the pouch somewhere dry.
What pairs well with it in a mixed box?
Any of the very sweet options. Sour Apple resets the palate against Cotton Candy Kush or Grape Ape, which is why people keep both open at once.
