What Is the Problem With Bananas?
The banana problem is that every time we go to the grocery store the bananas tend to be a little bit on the green side. So they're brought into North America totally under ripe so they haven't, they're not mature whatsoever and they're green. When you peel them it's very hard to peel them. And then what happens is these bananas are put into what are called ripening rooms. They're dosed with ethylene gas which is what makes them ripen. Every single ripener has a different idea of what a stage seven banana looks like or stage four banana looks like. We know about fruit physiology, let's turn this into a science.
