A GMO Apple that does not turn brown

Really Lynn??

That is so different to where I live - in the supermarket, I can get loose carrots, bananas, capsicums, mandarines, oranges, kiwi fruit, beans, cucumber, zucchini, onions, potatoes, peaches etc etc.

Yes, I understand packaging for cut items like apple slices or wedges of melon or small squishy things like strawberries - but seems odd to need all those other things packaged .

Really. I'm in the U.S. Maybe you're somewhere else? (I'm guessing you must be, because everyone I know says peppers, not capsicums.)

Bananas are sold loose (well, they're usually put out in bunches, but you're free to break off however many you might want). Peppers/capsicums are starting to show up more frequently in bags but they're still generally available loose. Mandarins I generally only see in boxes or bags. Oranges show up both loose and in bags. Kiwi fruit are almost always packaged. Beans, as I said, almost always packaged. Cucumber and zucchini are sold loose. Onions and potatoes are available both loose and packaged (although those are things that if I was cooking for more people on a regular basis, I would probably buy in a bag anyway). Peaches are still sold loose (although generally hard as a rock in the grocery store).

I am in Australia.

So, many of the the loose things here are sold loose there too, more than I understood from the way I read your previous post
