LPT never wrap bananas in plastic. It makes them go bad.

Look like 'pisang nipah' where it sold as banana fritters over here.

We do it for tomatoes too. Keeps them fresh for longer. Or that's the belief anyway.

This is how you'll find bananas in grocery stores in India. In all of them.

Becauae i wouldn't believe those were real bananas unless they were attached to the stall. Look at those chodes.

When I was in south America I would buy one of these and put it on my balcony as a bird feeder. Would get so many cool birds all through the day

I grew up in a banana growing area and it is indeed common to have these in smaller shops (Not supermarkets and the like).

You don’t have to buy the whole thing just take how many ever you want.

Not quite? In my city in UP you will occasionally see green bananas sold like this alongside other vegetables, but in the fruit markets and at the grocery stores I’ve only ever seen them sold in bunches like they do in the west.

Who wraps bananas in plastic? The gas released makes them ripen faster. Considering that they're already ripe, that means spoilage. It's also terrible for the environment.

That's cool. But how come they put the stalk in upside down?

The only reason it’s not is logistics. Bananas are notoriously quick to spoil in transit and fast transit is expensive. The banana trains in the US are still the fastest long haul freight method and they have priority over any other train on the tracks.

Since you can fit more bananas without their stalks it’s vastly more economical than wasting a bunch of space with non-edible material.

What nobody talks about is how stalked bananas are shipped LTL (less than truck load) and their carbon footprint is 20x+ that of bulk bunches.

I love when they put fruits and vegetables on polystyrene and wrap them in plastic. It’s so natural and biodegradable

As an aside, I love how the same abbreviation (UP) can stand for such disparate places as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Uttar Pradesh. I had to reread the sentence when my mind initially used the wrong one.

It's a neat contrast.

This is an actual bunch of bananas. An individual banana is a finger, the small group is a hand, multiple hands is a bunch.

What?? I thought they were made with a machine like sausages and they just used the banana peel as a casing.

JustABasicBadWitch t1_jdsmmrh wrote

Wait... I thought bananas grew in trees like coconuts??? Wait what the fuck does a banana plant look like? Are they not a type of palm tree???

Excuse me whilst I go down a rabbit hole about bananas... the last time this happened, I ended up calculating the weight of a giant sturgeon in both peel and unpeeled bananas...
