How to identify chemically ripened bananas is extremely simple
Naturally ripened bananas usually have fresh stems, are firm to the touch and easy to break, while forced ripened bananas have a bright yellow color, are a bit hard to the touch, and are evenly ripe throughout the bunch but still have green stems.
According to experts, choosing delicious, natural fruit is not difficult. In particular, just by using your hands and eyes, people can recognize which fruit has been soaked in chemicals or not.
To choose fresh bananas, people need to pay special attention to the following characteristics:
If the banana stem is fresh, has a natural color, has a little sap, is easy to break, and feels firm in the hand, then it is safe and has not been soaked or sprayed with chemicals. Bananas soaked in ripening chemicals are usually unripe and will take a long time to ripen if left alone.
Naturally ripened bananas often have unevenly ripened skin, some colors are darker and some are lighter, and have a characteristic aroma (strong, pungent, and unpleasant if overripe).
In the case of bananas injected with chemicals, they may not ripen evenly, but inside there will still be some areas that are hard, have immature seeds, the stems will not be fresh, will be rotten, will be blackened, and will not have a pleasant smell.
In addition, when touching a naturally ripe banana, it will feel soft and even, and when pressed, it will have a slight elasticity, not hard and solid like chemically soaked bananas.
Naturally ripened bananas have round, deep yellow, soft skin, and the peel often has brown or black spots. Furthermore, a bunch of ripe bananas often has scattered, uneven fruits.
Meanwhile, bananas that are forced to ripen by chemical peeling often have a very bright, eye-catching yellow color, smooth skin, and when held lightly, they still feel a bit hard and stiff. In particular, bananas that have been chemically ripened throughout the bunch but the stems are still green.
To avoid confusion when choosing fruits that are both safe and good, experts advise choosing fruits that are in season, and not buying fruits and vegetables that are green, have brighter colors than natural, are heavy, and have an intact appearance without scratches.
In addition, you should choose to buy fruit at reputable, quality stores with labels stating the inspection unit and clear address to avoid buying fruit that does not guarantee quality.
