Out season asparagus is coming on a truck from a region with a different season or plane from South America, not from a shelf.

- shermantanktop 2y agoNo, of course it is not from cold storage; instead the produce is flying around the world so that you can have them whenever you want. Cold storage, jets, and long-haul trucking are particularly bad for some types of produce, not so bad for others. Anyway, I’m not fighting the modern world, I like having tomatoes in January. But this article and discussion is about how you can have good apples, or you can have year-round apples at scale, but you can’t have both. And a lot of that comes down to the supermarket training consumers to expect the same produce every week.
