When I lived in Taiwan, back in 1956 to 1958, I was about 12 to 14 years old. I remember eating bananas there that came right off the plant. Those bananas were so sweet and moist. When we were sent back to the States, I hated the taste of the bananas and it took a long time to start eating them regularly again.

I have always loved watching banana plants and I enjoy bananas in my yogurt and cereals. Its amazing to see how the bananas I enjoy today are shipped. thank you for all the hard work and army of people who bring the delicious banana to my table! ^0^ I actually have some found memories with the banana trees that makes me love watching the banana trees..I remember specifically that there was this one banana tree that actually bore fruit to my surprise in my childhood neighbourhood, and I was always tempted to pick it and eat it or climb it..My mum stopped me from climbing banana tree or eating the green banana fruit which was still growing for one thing and the other thing, it grew up next to a road where cars and other traffic constantly passed, so it may not have been the cleanest banana in the world..but I still got to enjoy watching it and learned how bananas that I eat grew! It may actually have been the first time I saw any fruit grow in my life, which added to the fun and excitement ^0^ Even to this day I wonder if that banana is still there today..(never mind the fact when I lived there would be almost good 20-23 yrs ago, but I would certainly wish to visit it if that same tree was still there ^^) Shout out to that banana tree if its still there (^0^)/
Wow you are so grateful and appreciative of your food and environment. Spoken like a Buddhist! 😌 Being mindful in everyday life is key, even for 'common' things, it prevents taking our positive things for granted.

Thank you and God bless you all for your labor(s). I believe it's possible (and normal) for us 'public', occupied as we are in pursuit of our own busy schedules, to oft-times lose sight and appreciation for the grand effort and commitment of all those in the food and agricultural industries, for providing the wonderful bounty and harvest that grace our family tables. So speaking for all of us (no one asked me [I know] I took it upon my self), thank you!!! [p.s.] If and when they become overripe (not fun to eat), I toss 'em in the freezer whole and save them for frozen smoothies later! (Run a little hot water over the frigid 'nana, makes the slightly thawed peel much easier to remove from ice-bound core!) And there's your 'Hints From Heloise' moment. BTW I love bananas, probably my favorite fruit!
Reminds me of the movie " Summer of 42 " most fruitful life, way back in early 1970 - 80s. While watching, there are butterflies in the stomuch & feast for the eyes.
My grandma used to tell me the story how my great grandfather worked at chiquita banana company in Honduras in the 1940’s and 1950’s it was an American company so it was a great place to work apparently.
May be you don't believe that I didn't know about the banana flowers and how they grow and give us this delicious fruit. Because I grow up in cold climate area.
💪 "Feeling motivated after watching this amazing 🌱banana processing factory🍌 video! The commitment to quality and efficiency is so inspiring. Let's get the conversation going in the comments! 🗣
In my native village.... In my home we have so many bananas trees.. We usually don't take care... But bananas trees always love us and give us sweet and fresh bananas
Soy de Costa Rica, aquí se les llaman bananos normal de exportación, ahí hay una gran variedad, los plátanos son otros, son más largos y grandes, saludos.
You probably CAN work there, but I doubt you WOULD work there for the money they pay these people. I'll give you a hint; a workers pay for the day is probably similar to what it costs them to feed and shelter that donkey each day.
I used to work for a private company shipping orders for stores/restaurants and dole was the main source of bannanas..it’s crazy how many are constantly coming in
wow thanks for sharing! Easy to think of the farmers but even harder to remember the truck drivers and everyone else involved in shipping..there's just so many hands that prepare our food and it's awesome how many jobs it makes. just hope they're all good with good conditions, hours, and pay
+Hiroshi Bell It's foodsafe wax - it seals the cut stem to prevent it from molding. The skin of the bananas and stem won't rot, but the inside of the stem can rot if it is cut and exposed. It also prevents water from getting into the cut stem - if too much water is absorbed the stem will fall apart and the bananas will come off.

***** Be careful though, the phrase going bananas was coined due to the manic state in which Dole workers are frequently found after having worked for Dole too long.
I'm an Australian banana laborer and my hourly wage is $26.70 which is good money but I really doubt that the workers in this video would receive even a quarter of that.
I was just eating a banana in Cali and noticed it came from Guatemala. Kind of trips me out that I can be sitting at home in California eating fresh fruit from Guatemala.
free trade is a reference to trade deals america has made with other countries to prevent tarifs. The world trade organization punishes countries if they don't follow the deals. So our corporations go into an area and develop it for a third world country. If the country resists our corporation can sue under the guise of USAID and IMF. We force third world nations to allow our corporations in and either displace indigenous people for massive farming plantations or mining operations. Often these projects involve some kind of massive loan from the world bank to the third world nation to build roads and support for the business coming in. Once a third world nation is in debt and default on the loan (not only do the lack of tariffs mean they cannot pay off the debt, every single third world nation is now in debt to the world bank) the IMF can claim structural adjustment. Structural adjustment is when the IMF (international monetary fund) decide labor laws, environmental laws, utilities are force to be privatized. Everything is changed to help business as much as possible. Pollute all you want. Pay the workers a dollar a day. Military budgets for these countries are forced higher to maintain order during this time of "adjustment". Since the 50s and 60s our government has had a huge influence on international law. Forcing countries to allow our corporations in without getting any benefit except for some very low paying jobs. That is what free trade is.

Post harvest treatment to preserve freshness....mask and gloves on. What is this "treatment"?
+Hiroshi Bell It's foodsafe wax - it seals the cut stem to prevent it from molding. The skin of the bananas and stem won't rot, but the inside of the stem can rot if it is cut and exposed. It also prevents water from getting into the cut stem - if too much water is absorbed the stem will fall apart and the bananas will come off.

"free trade" is buzzword. tariffs prove this.
free trade is a reference to trade deals america has made with other countries to prevent tarifs. The world trade organization punishes countries if they don't follow the deals. So our corporations go into an area and develop it for a third world country. If the country resists our corporation can sue under the guise of USAID and IMF. We force third world nations to allow our corporations in and either displace indigenous people for massive farming plantations or mining operations. Often these projects involve some kind of massive loan from the world bank to the third world nation to build roads and support for the business coming in. Once a third world nation is in debt and default on the loan (not only do the lack of tariffs mean they cannot pay off the debt, every single third world nation is now in debt to the world bank) the IMF can claim structural adjustment. Structural adjustment is when the IMF (international monetary fund) decide labor laws, environmental laws, utilities are force to be privatized. Everything is changed to help business as much as possible. Pollute all you want. Pay the workers a dollar a day. Military budgets for these countries are forced higher to maintain order during this time of "adjustment". Since the 50s and 60s our government has had a huge influence on international law. Forcing countries to allow our corporations in without getting any benefit except for some very low paying jobs. That is what free trade is.

@@nathanjohnson9464 Oh right, sorry. They absorb oxygen, and release CO2. Sorry, not breathing. Oxidation. The very reason they're spraying the bananas.
