Its bananas to let them go to waste.
A new study from Sweden focused on just one area of food waste – grocery stores – and set out to see which items were most likely to go to waste. The results, though not necessarily surprising, are certainly eye-opening.
A mere seven fruits and vegetables represented about half of all produce that goes to waste in supermarkets, according to researchers at Karlstad University. The seven worst offenders were bananas, apples, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet peppers, pears and grapes – with bananas being the worst of the bunch.
