I couldn't tell the difference at the end, at all :P

[@mr_rossi3312]

To ripen bananas properly you need to stabilise the temperature to around 16 degrees for 1 day then introduce ethylene for 22 hours at 900 ppms. Then you need to adjust the temperature over the next 3 days according to colour you want and reduce temperature to around 13 degrees. Then you will have the perfect colour and temperature. 😀😀😀

Depending on the source country and softness of pulps

@@BananaMan311 I've been ripening bananas for 35 years from all over the world . I can ripen them in as little 72 hours or as long as 20 days . I am the best in the uk 🇬🇧.

@@mr_rossi3312 I want to start ripening bananas for sell, is it a profitable business? And how do I get them to ripen fast enough to meet demand from customers

[@mr_rossi3312]

@@boerandemo7766 you need a few million to build banana ripening centre. I ripen 100 000 boxes a week

[@mattmartinez8595]

@@mr_rossi3312 isn't the ethylene bad? I reckon it's best to just let bananas ripen naturally yeah? Curious to hear your thoughts on tjhis

I work at a grocry store and we just put the product out so idk about all this

[@ntt2k]

It happens at the distributor's warehouse .. the place where the truck picks it up to deliver to the grocery store

[@ky5069]

Using ethilene is bad enough, but am I the only one who is disgusted by the use of petrol fumes to rippen fruit? How can he say that they ready to head to the supermarket?! This is batshit crazy.

[@mogur00]

should have left the first bunch (with apples) exposed to the open air. Sealing them off like that is surely going to slow down ripening

[@anupam6192]

good to know i guess ..

[@mueffe1357]

Last time they used calcium carbide and thanks for the intro song, I'm sure it's going to stuck in my head for days.

[@TehGodLord]

What a load of tosh. Put the bananas next to each other so WE can decide

[@Rey-sb6li]

Amen

[@Yathuprem]

WHy ethylene make it ripe ?

[@lilli1465]

Yathu prem Ethylene is a hormone found in fruit that makes it ripen. Adding more of it, would help it ripen even faster.

[@nutritionandphysiology8023]

Cuz it do

After I watched the video, I was interested to learn what techniques and ingredients to ripen the correct Cavendis banana ..?

[@Chrisallengallery]

I hate ripe bananas. I like them mostly green but it's sometimes hard to find them.

[@thany3]

But do they taste as good as naturally ripened bananas?...

[@walakasyakban2489]

Depend on how old it picked, if it close to ripe the taste good as natural ripening after it gased by ethylene

[@yasser5846]

Amazing

[@Aska222]

Lmao and i still see green bananas at some supermakets

[@happymolecule8894]

Green bananas ARE the most delicious, tho

[@Reachermordacai]

I find them a bit bitter. I like bananas to be yellow and sweet.

[@Aska222]

Icynibba no they are not . And also they are pretty hard . Whilst yellow are softer

[@jamesshepherd5805]

Eat the peel too, really nice

Why would you want to buy yellow Bananas ?

[@anthonyonisiforou8441]

Because that's what the majority of people eat?

[@nickmuscat2913]

Anthony Onisiforou Exactly...

[@garethlawton5278]

Because most people want ripe bananas and not have to wait to eat them?

[@diesel92kj1]

You don't buy them Yellow they will be out of date in a few days green Bananas taste the same and last ages! The reason they are picked green is because they can be eaten green lol.

[@garethlawton5278]

What if you eat a bunch in two days?

[@muhammedshifatshahriar1626]

green bananas have the best taste.

[@gorillanobaka9772]

hehe heheh

[@anothergol]

So you're actually advising people to eat bananas when they're green & have no taste, for the reason that *other* kinds of bananas only found in foreign countries can be eaten green? Oh, and google-image ANY of the species in your list, for the fun of it. Your screen will be filled with yellow. But maybe you just don't like bananas. I love my bananas pretty much 2 days before they can be considered rotten.

[@gorillanobaka9772]

Oh dear, one of those... Nobody is advising people to eat green ,unripe raw bananas.YOUR BANANAS ,the one you can buy in your local supermarket might not have any taste when green but there are lots of other bananas out there that taste perfectly sweet and are amazingly flavored when they are green. I know it's hard to believe but there is a whole world out there full of wonderful things. Seriously, screw the bananas, there are myriads of other fruits of tropical and subtropical origin out there that taste amazing. You might wanna try traveling a bit.

[@anothergol]

No no, you wrote "But try to explain that to people who only ate or seen the regular Cavendish" in a condescending post. What was your point exactly? That people are stupid until they have travelled & eaten a good green banana? As for "the market" & the reason we mostly have the "same" bananas, it might be other problems than taste. Remember that the market had flipped from Gros Michel to Cavendish & that was not for taste reasons. Besides, I'm pretty sure all of the babanas I buy are Cavendish, yet they don't all have the same taste, far from it. Some of these Cavendish have approached the taste of banana candy, which I once totally found in some small banana (I thought that was how the Gros Michel was supposed to taste? If that's so, I guess it's not unique to it).

[@gorillanobaka9772]

Dude...You're really smart. THAT WAS EXACTLY MY POINT!! CONGRATS!!

[@ziomel105]

It is such pointless test you could just ask somebody who worked at food warehouse how they are really ripen. Truth to be told there is no secret to that, those are just kept in special part of warehouse where it is warm and very humid thats all at least that is what Chiquita does and they are probably largest manufacturer on the market.

[@mangamike6855]

Buddy this process is done when it leaves Chiquita. Not st Chiquita

[@DeborahFishburn]

Shame you didn't try including already ripe bananas in one barrel, to see what impact they had.
