Over half of the fresh fruit and veggies at the grocery store is thrown out. I wouldn't be surprised it it was more like 95% for specific foods. I have a feeling that onions don't have this problem, but the Avocados, I see like maybe the same batch sitting for 2 days and on the 3rd you can't even pick one up because it's so ripe it's basically mush. Then salad bags, I imagine that shredded lettuce doesn't go to waste (it's popular for tacos), but pretty much the rest is probably thrown out.
What's the solution? I know that grocery stores make Guacamole that sits in the fridge and that helps it age slower, but the vast majority of the Avocados are just wasted.
