so bananas turn black in the fridge because of "chilling injury". what exactly does that mean and how does the low temperature cause this. i do not need a very detailed and complicated answer, simply one that outines what the low temperature does to the fruit and therefore explaining why it's skin goes black. does this only happen with fruits from the tropics - my apples in the frige are fine - is this because they do not require very warm climates to grow ?
