[QUOTE="Singed, post: 604257, member: 6261"] I wonder if this has anything to do with premature harvesting so that produce can be shipped greater distances. For example, bananas and tomatoes are regularly harvested early and artificially ripened to give them a longer shelf life, that's a big part of the reason they have less flavour and grainier texture than local produce. Left to ripen longer on the tree the peels would toughen and the natural oils would concentrate more while the flesh continues to expand beneath the peel. [/QUOTE]
