MARKETING NEWS Today retailers are offering bananas both by the pound and by the hand, or nat- ural cluster. When a “hand” is cut from the stalk the banana skins are not torn nor the pulp exposed. Thus the fruit’s germproof package remains intact... In the home bananas should be kept at room temperature, not in the icebox. Excessive cold prevents ripening and checks the development of the fine, nat- ural flavor. A wise plan is to order ba- nanas regularly to insure having some fully ripe ones in the house at all times.
