Why do bananas
Rock hard, green, intractable -
Once bought, turn to squelch!

Ethylene !
they're shipped over unripe & stored in cold nitrogen until needed. Once released back into normality, the natural ripening process of bananas (and some other fruit & veg) gives off ethylene gas which sort-of acts like a wake-up call for the rest telling them to ripen-up pronto. Yes - I'm a mine of F***ing useless informashun :)
