About this listen

When you head to the grocery store's produce section, what are you looking for? The ripest bananas? The juiciest tomatoes? The largest oranges?

Whatever your answer, you might be surprised to learn what dictates the taste, ripeness, and nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables.

Angelos Deltsidis shares interesting details of his unique area of expertise: post-harvest ripening.

Tune in to learn:

  • What function ethylene serves (and why only some fruits and vegetables produce it)
  • Level of ripeness vs. storage conditions: does one have a heavier hand than the other in the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables?
  • New methods for increasing the overall quality of fruits and vegetables on the market
  • What goes into building a bountiful fruit and organic garden harvest
