@@paulsmith9341 Yeah, that's a huge set of employees and warehouses. Besides, back in the day the CIA cared about messing around third world countries, not selling off bananas.
For some reason, hearing banana tech and specs (shoulder, break etc.) feels very satisfying. There is an art to the banana business (as I'm sure there is to any produce).
I worked for a banana wholesaler here in Connecticut for many years from the days of them coming in on stalks to when they came in boxes. Was a rewarding job and a good workout to. My boss was Joe Williams know as “ Joe Bananas “ May he R.I.P.
My dad worked in produce for 30 years and this is like hearing his industry war stories but more to the point and i dont have to jump out the car if i've heard enough
Thankful that I get to enjoy bananas that naturally ripened; but also in awe that humans have advance so much that we can now induce ripening through technology.
About 7 years ago a friend gave me 3 banana plants. We put them near our pond. Now I have around 40+ banana plants and they are off the charts delicious. Shalom
In my country these artificially ripened bananas are second grade, mostly you can find the naturally riped ones in all markets and they do get overripe fast.
@@pemimpi no. If they didnt hold the temp and then do it artificially they would be overripe by the time they got off the boat. This is the way you can ship bulk from Central America to the USA without spoilage
Young man, truly appreciated ur video. We recd the dole bananas way out here in Saipan, commonwealth of the Northern Marianas and I don’t know weather it’s from ur company. I want to tell you that when we were residing in Alaska. Was I in heaven to find the plantains in the Asian store. Don’t worry about the color or when it’s getting ripe. We love it. For the dole bananas, it’s a whole lot better to make banana bread when the bananas are over ripe. The natural sweetness of the bananas comes out. Young man, we truly appreciated it. No waste. Thank you and your company. Heavenly thanks to the costa Ricans for their bananas and their hearts into all the hard work. Love you all!!
Over-ripe bananas make the best banana bread!! Yum. If you cannot get to it today, just peel, freeze in a large ZIP-style freezer bag removing all air possible. Banana bread set on a timer in the Bread Machine for fresh bread in the morning? Yum. One of my favs!
I don't see anybody giving her love in the comments, but that chef's knife skills are serious. Fast, perfect cuts with an item of various levels of firmness. You can just tell she's a master of her craft.
Only when I came to Gulf countries that I came across bananas in box with Dole or Chiquita marking on it. In my native place the shops sell banana from the stock and we have several types of banana to choose from.
I love that he started when he was 16. For such a young man is is incredibly sharp and knowledgeable. I believe in this method of starting a career. I started at 16 in my industry well. I have more experience at a much younger age than any of my peers. They all have degrees and I have the money.
24 years in the bar and restaurant business for me; I’ll be 40 this year. Training business owners how to maximize their companies while giving better customer service is oddly fulfilling. Good on you brother
As a costarican, I can tell you that those bananas are tasteless, we get here the "not export quality" in the markets and they are so much better, more flavor, not chemically ripened, imperfect with brown spots on the skin, like the ones he said should have been tossed, those are still good, the 7 which he said is used for banana bread is still not ripe enough. Industrialized banana plantations are killing the soils and polluting the water sources, they certainly create jobs but at a very high cost for the people, when he explained the packaging process, he forgot to mention they use chemicals to slow the ripening process so it can endure the freight to the ports and overseas to Europe for example, they are just a level down to the pineapple industry which is the worst culture for the environment, it is all a bittersweet feeling, fruit industry is quite complex and not as bright as shown here.
Interesting how non-producing banana countries import and process these bananas. Dole is an expensive supermarket brand. They taste great tho :). We just usually buy bananas from locals, I would say transported same day and they ripen crazily fast so you need to eat it fast within days lol! Hope you can show how apples/oranges are exported to non-producing countries. I always wonder about those.
You can store them in the refrigerator for days without it ripening or blackening further, if you wash them, dry off, wrap a bundle or individuals up in a layer of aluminium foil.
Yeah in the Bronx in the Hunts point section that’s where a lot of imported food comes into the country (or maybe just this region lol) if you’re in the BRUCKNER you can see all the railways and stuff.
And they all go to Walmart. Used to work produce there didn’t need to go to the gym they got a pallet of those everyday and each case had to be air stacked.
Dude in la Rita and cariari at Costa Rica , banana fields are hundreds of miles long, they have these banana spiders and basically if you get bitten by one of these spiders you are dead, I can take up to 3 hours to get out of the banana fields , 4 out of 6 families have a family member that died from these spiders. There is dole and chiquita as well
Do you think those warehouses and machines are cheap to maintain? Not to mention the people who make it happen, where will the company get the money to pay them? Lastly, blame the consumer, they're the one's setting up the standards. If only everyone eats a rotten banana. Very unrealistic question borderline stupid.
@@tagagawangulan i always annoyed by how 1st world country handle their fruit and vegetables. everything need to be the same size, shape, color. a little bad color or shape got thrown out. unlike other fruit, Banana there is only 1 species, cavendish. weird company need people demand which mostly "perfect" fruit or veggies. however on the other side, some people who would buy any quality, can't because company / supermarket / supplier only provide "perfet" fruit or veggies.
Where can you just buy #6 or #7 bananas? I want the "not mealy" banans, or I'm in the market for a banananabreads. Getting them green and early makes me angry and unwilling to buy more (because they're gross and sucky).
"future father-in-law" Guy doing all the right things I see.
i 've never seen anyone be this serious about bananas
Yeah, it's truly bananas.
because it brings him $$$.
@@eyespliced haaaaaa
He’s the top banana 🍌
Then you haven't seen the guy who loves potatoes, and cries when they're sent off.
His son in law is definitely the future of that company, he’s clearly passionate about the business.
More like the present and the future.
Spoke my mind lol
For sure he can best articulate ...
If he dont go through a divorce
I'm surprised Dole banana doesn't have a fully integrated distribution chain.
Probably they are happy just being the middleman. No headaches of local distribution.
@@paulsmith9341 Yeah, that's a huge set of employees and warehouses.
Besides, back in the day the CIA cared about messing around third world countries, not selling off bananas.
"this is joe, the owner of the company, my future father in law"

My style right there!👍
Never seen somebody be so passionate about Bananas.

So much banana knowledge! I better be getting 3-3.5s in the store! 58degrees!
This is awesome. I only seen this done on a small scale. I love banana's especially the ones I grow in my backyard in Hawaii.

Dole banana. You should come to Sri Lanka. We have 29 types of banana. 😂
Just some trolls eating dole

Cavendish the most tasteless variety of banana there is.

I consistently love this channel!
Awesome 👏🏻
Joe used to deliver down the northeast corridor in a part of Pennsylvania I was familiar with from childhood.
I'm here early but I'm just on break at work and this seemed interesting
I hate eating raw bananas by itself, but it is really good when my favorite restaurant makes my favorite dessert, fried bananas over cocnuy ice cream.
Look up Indian recipes.

Yeah in the Bronx in the Hunts point section that’s where a lot of imported food comes into the country (or maybe just this region lol) if you’re in the BRUCKNER you can see all the railways and stuff.
And they all go to Walmart. Used to work produce there didn’t need to go to the gym they got a pallet of those everyday and each case had to be air stacked.
I cant lie, Dole has some of the hardest, tasteless, and slimiest bananas on the market
Dude in la Rita and cariari at Costa Rica , banana fields are hundreds of miles long, they have these banana spiders and basically if you get bitten by one of these spiders you are dead, I can take up to 3 hours to get out of the banana fields , 4 out of 6 families have a family member that died from these spiders.

Everyone is talking about the bananas i wanna know about the music they are playing in the backround!
Really need more series like this and less cooking from home
This is literally bananas
your so easy to speak too thanks for being a friend acquiance
How often do you find illegal items between the bananas?
Can you import Dole Bananas from the Davao, Philippines?
