They’ll do something to preserve them. Pickled bananas, freeze dried bananas, just plain dried bananas, whatever. I wouldn’t put it past them to salt them. They got some weird ideas about food.
Survival types know the huge problem food poses.
It spoils. Simply that.
Peanut butter lasts. But not forever. Honey lasts. But not forever. Meat? Shut off power to the fridge and see how long it lasts.
China hoarding food face this problem. Anyone hoarding food faces this problem.
The McCandless kid in Alaska discovered it. He killed a deer or elk or something. Got a meal out of it. Out of the entire meal. Then another was worrisome. And then the maggots appeared and the rot. Hundreds of pounds of meat. He got at most 2 pounds of it.
Read some survivalist sites to see the problem. You got crops? Great. Think you can store through the winter and summer to the next crop? The rats and mice and bacteria laugh at you.
