Ever wondered why organic bananas are smaller?

  1. I did wonder that about bananas! It turns out that my first guess as to why was mostly right. Yeay me!

  2. Bananas are the one item that, for whatever reason, I’ve never bought the organic version of. And I eat a lot of bananas. Dang, between that and my water bottle, I’m just a huge disappointment around here this week.

    Congratulations on the MSN write-up and link. That really is a cool idea.

  3. Yay, Noelle!

    Mickey, thanks for your comment over at MSN. That was so nice of you!

    I have to admit, I don’t always buy organic bananas. It depends on where I shop. Our local grocery store has the thing where you weigh and label your own produce, but they don’t have the code registered for the organic ones. I get frustrated and just buy the regular ones. But I’ve actually read that bananas are among the more important items to buy as organic, so I’m going to try to be better about that.

    That was a kind of long and boring story about bananas.
