In South Korea, bananas are sold "by the day": an unusual approach to fruit freshness (photos)

An unconventional banana sales format is gaining popularity in South Korea: sets designed to last for several days. A single package typically contains bananas at varying stages of ripeness: one is ready to eat, the second will ripen the next day, and the third a few days later. This approach allows customers to gradually consume the product without the risk of the entire bunch becoming overripe and spoiling. The idea is aimed at reducing food waste and promoting more efficient food use. Despite its simplicity, the format has proven popular among shoppers who value convenience and practicality. On social media, the concept is already being dubbed "scheduled bananas," praising its unusual yet logical organization.
