Ripe Bananas - email from Kamalini Kanapathyppillai.
Subject: Caution while selecting bananas
Selling of forced ripened bananas is so true and becoming a common thing. How do we stop it?
I believe mangoes are also dipped in a chemical to stop getting rotten. Note how tasteless
they were this summer?
Caution when selecting bananas
At the rate of $1.99 – $6.99 per KG., death is being sold nowadays in our markets.
My request for everybody is to be vigilant.
Friends, we all love bananas and we eat a lot of them, but the bananas available in the market are forced ripe by dipping in water mixed with Carbide.
The consumption of these bananas is 100% sure to cause Cancer or some other infection in the stomach. Therefore, such type of bananas are to be avoided.
But, how does one recognize the bananas ripened with the help of Carbide?
Bananas which are ripened naturally are dark yellow and have small black spots here and there on the bananas and thestalks are black.
Those which are forced ripe with Carbide are lemon yellow and their stalks are green and they are clear yellow without any black spots.
Now, what is Carbide and how is it harmful?
Carbide is a chemical which if mixed with water, emits heat.
The heat emitted by a closed tank mixed with Carbide is even more than that emitted by a LPG Cylinder - it can be used for Gas Cutting (which means the calorific value is so high that it can replace LPG gas).
In the same way, when the bunch of bananas are dipped in the water mixed with Carbide, the gas gets absorbed into the bananas and they get ripe.
However, the banana vendors are not that literate and so they do not know the exact proportion of Carbide to be used for a dozen of bananas.
As a result they end up using excess quantity of Carbide which gets absorbed into the bananas and ultimately enters our stomach.
Due to this excess use of Carbide, Tumours can be formed in our digestive system.
So, next time you purchase bananas, make sure you select the naturally ripened ones.
Please pass it on to others in your mailing list.
