<\/div>\nComments highlight the rarity of such natural practices in urban areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A recently surfaced video on Instagram has sparked debate online. The video features an elderly South Indian woman demonstrating a traditional method for ripening bananas without chemicals.<\/p>\n
While ripe bananas are readily available and a staple in many markets, concerns about chemical ripening agents are not uncommon. This video offers an alternative approach, raising questions about practicality and commercial viability.<\/p>\n
The video was shared with a caption that read, “Banana Ripening Process, Primitive Method.”<\/p>\n
Watch the video here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The technique involves burying raw bananas in a pit lined with dry banana leaves. Coals are then placed inside the pit to generate smoke. Finally, the pit is covered with soil and left for two days.<\/p>\n According to the video, the bananas emerge fully ripe and ready for consumption. The woman in the video even demonstrates eating the ripened bananas.<\/p>\n The method, though seemingly effective, raises questions about scalability and practicality for large-scale commercial use. Nevertheless, it highlights a traditional practice that some may find interesting and potentially useful.<\/p>\n The video has sparked a debate about the process of ripping bananas or any other fruit. Several people shared their views in the comment section.<\/p>\n “I wonder why they don’t just let them ripen on the tree. Is it just to speed up the process? I love how, at her age, she is so active,” commented a user.<\/p>\n “Now such a natural banana is not available in Big City,” wrote another user.<\/p>\n “This is a very efficient method for ripening fruits. The smoke is used for ethylene as it ripens the fruit,” commented a third user.<\/p>\n Click for more trending news<\/a><\/div>\n
