Answer 1

I saw a crazy short documentary that followed some bananas through the supply chain. When they cut the bananas, they are just starting to turn yellow. They load them onto a truck that takes them directly to a ship that leaves within 12 hours. 2 days later, the produce person at Kroger is putting them out for you to buy. It’s literally 2 1/2 days from tree to shelf.
