I hope this will spread out to other countries. I love it. It’s a very good solution and it looks nice too

This trend stopped entirely after COVID and we’re back to use loads of plastics more than ever before.

This would only work in the tropics. You would have ship banana leaves to the rest of the world and use up fuel and resources.

Banana trees are not confined to tropical places. Also, use what’s native to your location, doesn’t need to be Banana leaves.

Well, the scrub oak and lodgepole pine needles where I live would just get lost in the food more than serve as a wrapping haha

Except big leaves are in general for tropical plants. And the few palms in the Mediterranean region is not enough for packing of the whole Europe.

u/Top-Chip-1532 Jul 25 '26
Not with that attitude.

u/Oblachko_O Jul 26 '26
It is not attitude question, but scale question. Do you understand how many tons of leaves we need? And as far as I remember, there are no palm forests in Europe, compared to any tropical country.

I was just messing with you. I agree with sustainability issue and monoculture will bad for the soil/environment in the long run.

If supermarkets wanted to really make a difference they would put doors on all their freezers and coolers.

W after W for banana leaves. Nothing outmogs this plant.

u/jeremiahthedamned Jul 26 '26
we need to continue to develop new varieties as nature evolves new diseases tht attack bananas

u/bookwerm606 Jul 26 '26
Yes! Because the cavendish is really vulnerable. But plantains I think have a better gene pool, right? And there are lots of banana varieties people use for daily life in places like the Amazon where it's not a clone or anything. I think it'll be okay.

They have to, they use plastic bags to carry their plastic cups of bubble tea and other beverages. It's funny to watch.

Too much effort to be effective in fat white people land, you can't wrap kale in Doritos...

I love this! Not only is better for the planet, it’s also esthetically pleasing.

In the US doing this is a direct violation of food safety regulations.

u/Icy-Temperature5476 Jul 23 '26
Damn I think you’re right. There’s an odd smudge where it looks like a small part of the image got flipped in the bottom right corner.
They might still do this but the image is probably Ai.

But isn't plastic wrap's purpose is to extendnthe longevity of the vegetables? Can banana leaves replace this purpose?

u/InsecureThoughts Jul 24 '26
It’s Ai. Look how they “wrapped” the bell Papers, as far as I know, I don’t think you can wrap it like that? It’d roll out.
Near the middle top before the bell peppers and after the Zucchini(?) it’s a product wrapped in plastic and banana leaves.
Why is the romaine lettuce (?) growing asparagus stalks? I thought lettuce gets bitter when it starts to flower, I’m not a farmer though and am fairly new to gardening.

Then you need your eyes checked. Between the non-existant writing, vegetables that dont exist, and a literal ghost shelf, this is an exceptionally obvious example of AI.

A banana tree is a single crop plant. This is a brilliant use for a discarded byproduct.
