  How to identify artificially ripened bananas?  
 

Have you ever experienced this? You bought green bananas from the supermarket, and they turned bright yellow after a few hours. This is an indication of chemical ripening.

How to identify artificially ripened bananas? Look for the following signs.

Appearance

Naturally ripened bananas have black or brown stalk. The skin of it appears dark yellow with black and brown spots spread unevenly all over. Artificially ripened bananas on the other hand, appear immaculate with lemon yellow skin. They also have a green stalk.

Touch & Feel

For artificially ripened bananas, Some parts of the fruit will be very soft while others would be hard. This is because some parts come in contact with chemicals while others may not.

Best practices while shopping for banana

  1. Always inspect the stem, if it is green in color while the fruit is yellow it’s a sure shot sign of artificially ripened fruit.
  2. Look for unevenly spread brown spots on the banana peel. This is a sign of naturally ripened fruit.
