s fresh food really fresh? The average apple 🍎 you buy at a grocery store is 14 months old. Carrot 🥕 can be in cold storage for 6 - 8 months before they get to you. It’s the same with potatoe 🥔 which can take between 8 - 10 months before arriving at your store. Once properly cured, onion 🧅 can sit in cold storage for a year!!

On one hand, it is really nice to have all our favorite foods available year-round. On the other hand it’s kind of a bummer that we don’t get to experience the best flavors from food that sits in storage for so long. What do you think?
