Why do grocery stores spray their fresh produce with water

Biology
1 answer:
spayn [35]4 years ago

This allows the fruits to maintain their plumpness and freshness hence keep them appealing for customers to shop.

Explanation:

Spraying water reduces the loss of water by the fruits to the environment by evaporation hence keeps them hydrated. When the fruits tend to wilt, the sprayed water is absorbed into the fruit though osmosis (because the fruit cells are hypertonic in comparison to the sprayed water) allowing the cells maintain their turgor pressure. This tugor pressure is important in ensuring the fruits look full and fresh.
