Banane logic

  Bananas are shipped green, and in refrigerated shipping containers. They ripen them in warmer containers at Port.

  From that moment on, the clock is ticking.

    Also those bad boys ripen faster when they are laying flat vs hanging. Getting a little hook to hang the bunch of bananas on makes them ripen more slowly

      Correct. Fruits ripen through emitting gases. If those gases can be caught (in a box) the ripen process is faster. Also increases ripening of other fruits like apples and so on.

    There are two different major categories of fruit. Climacterix and non-climacteric. Climacteric fruit ripen with the production of ethylene gas. Ethylene is a major plant hormone that triggers a cascade of other biochemical processes.

    Bananas are climacteric so they are harvested green and stored in a cooled (13-14C) containers with an absorbent to remove ethylene gas.

    Before delivery to the store they are gassed with ethylene to trigger uniform ripening. Once the ripening process begins there is no reversing it. The fruit turns yellow and softens and storage is limited to a few days.

  Boxes are shipped bagged with nitrogen and in refridgerated environments

  They freeze those best buy feckers in transit that is why they crunch and are pulpy at the same time, bananas should not have that texture. And the banana is smart, banana knows it lost time, banana speeds up its death cycle once released from cold place, banana not fooled.

    They store them at 13-14C. Anything colder causes chilling injury aka they turn brown now yellow.

  They ship them in nitrogen so they don’t rippen.

  Helps to cover the stem in plastic wrap

    Helps reduce water loss which helps them keep for a day to two longer.

  I unfortunately like bananas when they are browning and only enjoy them riiight before it’s too late. I don’t even bring them home anymore because fruitflies are pretty much guaranteed.
