Most fruits are best consumed immediately after they are picked or harvested, as they lose their quality or potency as time goes by. This is the same with vegetables and many other fresh produce.

Loses quality. The more time it spend of the tree or ground it starts to get old and nasty

However, genetically engineered fruits do not change in appearance or taste as time goes by. Does this mean they are less healthy?
