Introduction: Bananas are fruits that are suitable for consumption all year round. For example, eating more bananas in spring and winter can prevent constipation, while eating more bananas in summer can maintain the body's potassium and sodium balance, thereby making the body healthier. So at my house, I will buy a few bananas for my family to eat every 2-3 days. Although bananas are a fruit that many people love to eat, if you want to buy soft, sweet and fragrant bananas, you really need to master some skills. If you have carefully observed bananas, you will definitely find that some bananas are very straight and some bananas are very curved. What is the difference between these two bananas?
At first, I didn’t know the difference between these two types, so I asked my friend around me. A friend’s father happened to have been growing bananas in Guangxi for many years. I consulted his father and said, “Straight bananas and curved bananas are very different. I will tell you the correct way to choose bananas. Don’t buy the wrong way in the future.” Don’t say that after listening to the facts revealed to me by the old fruit farmer, I really realized that the methods I used to choose were all wrong. Since I learned how to choose bananas correctly, I have never missed it again.
[The difference between straight bananas and curved bananas]: When bananas grow, in order to protect small bananas, small bananas are hidden under the banana leaves. As the light and nutrients become more, the bananas will gradually grow larger and grow towards places with sunlight, which makes the bananas slowly bend. There are two situations for straight bananas on the market. Either it is insufficient light, which causes the banana to not face the sunny place, or it is picked before it starts to bend. Therefore, when buying bananas, it is best to choose curved bananas, which have a higher ripening degree and a better taste. When choosing bananas, you still need to master the following 3 points to buy better bananas.
First point: look at the color of the banana handle
Except for Hainan, Guangxi and other places, most of the bananas eaten in most places are ripened by ethylene . Bananas ripened by ethylene are not harmful to the human body. However, there are some bananas that are picked too early, and after this banana is ripened, they are still not soft, fragrant or glutinous. If you see whether the banana is picked too early, you only need to look at the banana handle. If the banana looks yellow and the banana handle is very green, the ripening of this banana is only 50%-60%. It is recommended that you do not buy this banana. If the banana stem is yellow or yellow, the ripening degree of this banana will be at least 70%. After ripening, it will be super sweet.
Second point: smell the banana
No matter what kind of fruit it is, as long as the fruit smells fragrant, its taste will definitely not be bad, and like bananas, if you find that bananas smell strong when you buy bananas, the taste and sweetness of this banana will definitely not be bad, and it is worth buying.
Third point: Check whether the banana explodes
There are some bananas when growing, because fruit farmers sprinkle too much nitrogen fertilizer , the bottom of the banana will explode when growing, and some bananas will suffer from heavy rains during the swelling process, which will also cause the bottom of the banana to explode. I recommend not to buy this kind of explosive banana, as it will easily rot and spoil after ripening. When buying bananas, you must choose bananas that are yellow in color, without large black spots, and do not crack.
After reading it, you will definitely know that when buying bananas in the future, you must choose "curved bananas". The taste of this banana will be much better than that of straight bananas!
