Trying to buy fresh fruit is bananas, literally – bananas are the only fruit most us know how to judge properly. Bananas are among the few fruits with common decency to signal its prematurity by actually being the proverbial “green”, turn a bright neon shade when ripe, and then start to look physically unappetising as soon as any part of it passes its peak. They couldn’t be more obvious if they grew grey hair and joined AARP. Unfortunately, bananas are the exception, not the rule. For the most part, trying to select fruit at its peak freshness is like playing the lottery.
Most of us don’t know what we’re paying for when buying fruits. Will the fruit be sour, dry, tasteless, etc? Or will we be lucky, and actually buy a fruit that tastes as good as it looks?
