Aldi is experiencing customer disappointment regarding the ripening process of their bananas, with many shoppers expressing frustration on platforms like Reddit. Despite Aldi being a popular store, customers have reported that the bananas often remain green for longer than expected, leading to further quality issues such as overripening or browning shortly after purchase. Consequently, some customers have shifted their banana purchase preferences to competitors like Wal-Mart, citing better quality and lower prices. The article also explains banana ripening, emphasizing the role of ethylene gas and environmental conditions in the process.
"It's now day 6, and they're still green," an exasperated customer commented on one thread.
"Aldi def isn't my first choice for bananas. They never look good to me." said another shopper.
"Whenever I need to go to Aldi and Wal-Mart, I just get them at Wal-Mart because they are generally 10 cents/pound cheaper and higher quality," admitted one Reddit user.
The fruits you see in supermarkets aren't ripened on trees. Instead, bananas are harvested while green and then exposed to ethylene gas.
