- shostack 10y agoAre most tree-grown fruits actually harvested when ripe? I seem to recall reading something a while back about how most fruit is picked before it is ripe, and picking is timed such that it ripens by the time it gets transported to the warehouse, grocery store, purchased, etc.
- rjsw 10y agoThe tree-grown fruit that is sold in the UK has been harvested before it is ripe, it is still too hard to eat when you throw it away.
