Cauliflower? Wrapped in plastic.

Cucumber? Individually wrapped in plastic, or in a bag.

All protein? Plastic film and maybe some styrofoam for good measure.

Asian pears? INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED IN STRYOFOAM MESH

Small tomatoes or berries? Plastic container.

If someone buys their fresh foods from a grocery store, some things are impossible to find without already being wrapped in a ton of plastic. And they came in on a truck where the pallet was wrapped with another metric ton of plastic wrap.

It’s everywhere. Even when you’re not buying something wrapped in plastic, it was probably already wrapped in plastic and the store already threw it out for you.

None of which is recyclable, except the berry container.
