Method for judging whether bananas are ripe or not

1, smell

When the banana is ripe, it will give off a unique sweetness. If it smells tasteless, even if the skin is yellow, it is an immature banana. If you smell a pungent smell, you must have eaten the ripening hormone, namely ethylene, which has a special smell of hydrocarbons.

2. Look at the reinforcement line

There are many tendons on the banana skin, some are obvious, some are not obvious, and the difference is quite big. If the ribs are obvious and the banana looks angular, it means that the banana is not ripe and tastes hard and astringent. If the gluten line is not obvious, the banana is round, that is, a mature banana, which tastes soft and sweet.

3. Shrinkage hardness

When bananas are ripe, they are hard and soft to pinch, which means they are more elastic. Immature bananas are difficult to pinch, and bananas that are too soft indicate that they are overcooked.
