Uncertain as to why this is I did a little research and discovered that organic bananas are often wrapped in plastic as a way to ripen while they are shipped. Apparently non-organic banana are blasted with a ethylene gas in order to speed up their ripening process. Understandably organic bananas do not use this process and I am okay with that. While I am not crazy about buying anything that comes in plastic I would much rather buy bananas in plastic than to buy bananas that were blasted with ethylene gas.
