Banana importers bring nanas in on ships to Blighty in a very green condition.
Once landed, the nanas are put in rooms where ethylene gas is pumped in to begin their ripening.
This is one reason why banana boxes have holes in.
Ethylene is a plant hormone which causes every fruit to ripen.
Bananas are great at creating ethylene gas once their ripening process has begun.
