One of the products that go through the ripening process the fastest is the banana. This food, which has become one of the most popular fruits in the country, It has different varieties, therefore, a multiplicity of sizes, colors and flavors in all its splendor. Nevertheless, keep it untouched for a long time in homes sometimes It can become a challenge, To the point that different experts and influencers publish new tricks to maintain it.
“At what age did you find out that the banana is a climacteric fruit and if you don’t separate it from the stem it continues to ripen?To preserve bananas for longer, I recommend that you cut them. This way, they will last up to 10 days in good condition. If it’s very hot, the ideal is to store them in the refrigerator,” said the nutritionist and influencer Florence Cardoso in a video on Instagram.
This theory, according to Fernando Ortiz, A fruit producer, from the province of Salta, has a livelihood, since the banana before reaching homes has to go through different conservation processes for its handling, logistics and marketing.
The producer explained that the fruit that comes out in bunches from the fields, it is cut into pendulums, placed in a pool of water and washed to remove the soil. In addition, he added that so that the ripening process takes a little longer in hot weather, a fungicide is applied to slow down this stage. He also said that all bananas are sent green to the main consumption centers, where they are placed in an acetyl chamber with the intention of speeding up the ripening process and achieving a perfect yellow for the fruit. “When the bananas are together, the fungi generated by acetylene accelerate their process, for this reason, ripening is faster”accurate.
The same thing that happens with bananas happens with other products, since Fungi are what help the natural fermentation processes of all fruits that are very united or together during long processes. “Fungi are natural to the skin of all fruits, where the peels cultivate a fungus that proliferates when the fruits are together. This multiplies and accelerates the maturation process,” he pointed. Grapes and apples go through the same processes as bananas, so it is advisable to cut the pendulum and divide each one to prevent the proliferation of fungi.
