Does a orange rot faster than banana?

Bananas are climacteric fruits, which means that they continue to ripen after they are picked. This ripening process is accompanied by an increase in the production of ethylene gas, which causes the fruit to soften, turn yellow, and develop a sweet flavor. Oranges, on the other hand, are non-climacteric fruits, which means that they do not continue to ripen after they are picked. As a result, oranges tend to have a longer shelf life than bananas.

In addition, the skin of an orange is thicker and more protective than the skin of a banana. This thicker skin helps to prevent water loss and the growth of mold, which can both contribute to spoilage.

Therefore, oranges generally rot slower than bananas.
