Sorry if this is a weird question, but I was just thinking about bananas and how most of the store bananas you buy in places like the US are relatively flavorless but are still sold because they don’t go bad as easily during shipping. So, given this, you’d think you might be able to find the more flavorful varieties of bananas in a preserved form. Like a sealed can… but nope, this doesn’t exist. You can buy pineapples, peaches, oranges, and lots of other fruit in cans, but not bananas.
Why is that? Why are canned bananas not a thing?
I know they're ethene releasers, which incidentally is why you shouldn't store them near other fruit cause it can cause them to rot quicker, I wonder if the canning process can mitigate against that.
Also, bananas are under threat by some crazy fungus that I think killed off all the flavorful varietals or at least made them unprofitable at a commercial scale to grow now. We're stuck with the shit ones cause that's the only thing that's survived so far.
ethylene on me
when you're not ripe
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
The fungus is still around without the plants to victimize? What’s it eating now?

Apparently a couple other flowers.
