Re: My first foray into retailing
Yeah the ripe aspect is totally different than what I am use to with wholesale. Usually, the wholesale buyer wants them green. If I cut a bunch of Nam Wah on Tuesday they will usually start to turn by the end of the week. The Cavendish stay green forever it seems. The Hua Moa seem to have a lengthy green life as well. I suppose most places in the country selling plantains at a green market wouldn't go over well, but down here even the gringos know what to do with a plantain.
