There is a lot of discussion going on about Chemically ripened bananas and if they are safe to eat?

You bought green bananas from the supermarket, but they turned bright yellow, after just a few hours.

Then within a day, black blotches appeared on the banana peel.

This is an indication of chemical or artificial ripening.

If you want to identify if a banana is artificially ripened, then look for the following signs.

Naturally ripened bananas have a natural look with black or brown stalks.
The banana skin should appear  dark yellow with black, or brown spots spread unevenly all over.

Artificially ripened bananas on the other hand, appear almost immaculate, with lemon yellow skin.

They will also have a green stalk, even if the banana is yellow.

In artificially ripened bananas some parts of the fruit will be very soft, while others would be hard. This is because some parts of the banana encounter the chemicals used. while other areas may not.

Here is how to spot a chemically ripened banana
Always inspect the stem. If it is green in colour while the fruit is yellow. It’s a sure sign of artificially ripened fruit. While unevenly spread, brown spots on the banana peel, is a sign of naturally ripened fruit.

The artificial ripening process may cause the fruit sugars to not develop. This would mean the bananas taste is not as sweet.

Non-development of the fruit sugars also leads to the fruit being firm when pressed. even though it looks ripe.

Bananas are picked when green. Then artificially ripened after shipment by being gassed with ethylene. Calcium carbide is also used in some countries to artificially ripen green bananas.

Calcium carbide is a strong reactive chemical and is thought to contain some carcinogenic properties.

This chemical, when it encounters water, produces acetylene gas, this hastens the ripening process.
