Why the fruits dont have the same taste as in my country?

I bought some green apples, and apricot that are really TASTELESS, though the apricots come from Jordon! weird!!



Are the fruits in lebanon tasting good or bomby?

Why the fruits dont have the same taste as in my country?
Good question.....

I have thought the same many times.

My country is small too and not big distances to cover transporting the fruits, but they dont taste same as lebanese ones.

May be it is bcoz they keep them in that huge freezers.
Reply:Well , over here we have to send fruit %26amp; vegetables long distances...also , the best of our crops are exported %26amp; we end up getting the leftovers !

Quite often produce is picked green , ripened artificially to suit marketing %26amp; kept in cold storage for months ...it's a wonder that there's any taste at all !

From what I could see in Lebanon , produce is still being produced without an excess of chemical additives to the soil , transported to market daily %26amp; picked in season ...vive la differance !
Reply:They are probably picked when they aren't quite ripe so that they will travel better, but don't taste as good. The same thing happens in the United States. Fresh, tree ripened peaches in Washington state are delicious, but the ones that get shipped two thousand miles to Ohio are hard as rocks.
