Like how apples and oranges are kept in anaerobic environment (prob nitrogen or argon) for 6-12 months before being shipped out, to make sure there's a year supply
Sure, it might be 'fine', but if I have the option to, like right now, buy pomegranates instead of nitrogen-doped pink ladies, I'm going with the seasonal
Only exception to that that I can think of is bananas, cuz Iceland
