Your Apples Are A Year Old

The produce you buy in the supermarket or grocery store is not fresh. With many items, like spinach, the leaves may have been plucked no more than a few weeks ago. But with many others, like apples, the fruit probably sat in cold storage for a year before making its way to the supermarket. I thought this was common knowledge. But in a recent Facebook discussion in which many readers chimed in with incredulous statements like, "A year old? No way!" I realized I was wrong. This information is not common knowledge. But it should be.
