Hy-Vee Behind the Scenes: The Banana Ripening Process

Ever wonder where your bananas are stored to ripen before they hit the produce section of your local Hy-Vee? Bananas are the #1 produce item at our retail outlets and Hy-Vee customers can buy up to eight different varieties of bananas.

Watch this video as we take you behind the scenes of the banana ripening and handling process where we receive and can store up to 1.6 million pounds of bananas in 27 environmentally-controlled rooms at our Chariton Distribution Center.
