Hmm. I’ve always thought that bananas released the most ethylene; and that they can be used to ripen other fruit (or ripen themselves faster if you put them in a bag or something). … But this seems to suggest it is apples that should be used for that - unless there’s a significant difference between ‘produced’ and ‘released’.
In any case, I guess it’s something I might revisit and reassess.
Which is funny because apples produce more ethylene gas, but they don’t react as intensely as bananas, which just rapidly decay

Potatos are terrifying. Now I don’t feel bad about eating so many fries.
