I’ve never seen avocados in a box. Is that a common thing outside of the US?
Come to Denmark and you'll be seriously shocked by how much plastic is used for food packaging. It's insane and I hate it so much.
The US has its own share of overly plastic packaging. I have occasionally seen individual vegetables shrinkwrapped. It’s just not the norm.
I saw a pre-peeled orange for sale at a convenience store. It was wrapped in plastic wrap. Like, why‽‽‽ They literally grow their own wrapper....
It happens to cucumbers relatively often but other veggies are just so weirdly shaped from a packaging standpoint that I don't think they see it as worthwhile
That was the one I was thinking of! I knew there was an organic veggie I regularly buy that’s wrapped.
Cucumbers have much better shelf-life when shrink-wrapped. It ends up a debate of which is worse between food waste and plastic waste.
Oh really? I did not know that.
