Hmm. I've always thought that bananas released the most ethylene; and that they can be used to ripen other fruit (or ripen themselves faster if you put them in a bag or something). ... But this seems to suggest it is apples that should be used for that - unless there's a significant difference between 'produced' and 'released'.

In any case, I guess it's something I might revisit and reassess.

Is that supposed to be the cytokine, or the gas dichlorocarbene?

Whoops, should have been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Methylcyclopropene it blocks ethylene receptors that a bunch of plants use for regulating ripening and responding to stress conditions like drought, flooding, high salt, etc.

Potatos are terrifying. Now I don't feel bad about eating so many fries.

Your mom is so sweet, you can compare her to a fruit salad.

Cheetah spotted bananas. Perfect. Eat them or slice/freeze them for smoothies.
