    Hear me out. What if bananas had some sort of natural protection, that would be crazy right?

      They’d ripen faster in open air too. This whole packaging fruit trend is just stupid.

      Unless it’s for accessibility. There are some niche prepackaged fruits specifically for people with arthritis and other mobility issues that actually can’t reasonably peel fruit, but these aren’t even peeled so obviously it’s not for that.

        I’m not sure if that’s true as afaik bananas release some sort of heavier than air gas that causes both themselves and lots of other produce to ripen faster. The more airflow the less banana gas.
