Cool make your bananas sweeter????

do not know if this is an old wives tale, I do not know if I read it or was told it I can not remember. I do know I have heard of it several times, I believe I heard once from a dear friend/farmer from Ocala fl., now passed.

I do know from reading here that banana taste is generally different depending on your local.

what I have been told/read that when the orange trees here start to fruit that putting down lime will take the acidity out some [from the fruit] and make the fruit sweeter.

so...... outside of different soils could the difference in taste be attributed to soil acidity? I know my property has a low ph [high acidity]
