    Fun fact most bananas are picked while green and then exposed to Ethylene Gas to ripen quickly! I don’t eat bananas any more!

      Apples and other fruits naturally emit ethylene gas. If you ever stored apple with other fruits,you exposed those fruits to ethylene gas.

        If you don’t recognize the potential risks associated with the commercial ripening of bananas, you are free to continue consuming them!

          I’m genuinely curious what it is

          Because ethylene is produced by fruits during and after ripening. There’s no human health risk associated with it (especially since it doesn’t stick around inside the fruit)

            You’ve already done your research, and that’s fine. I’m not trying to change your opinion. If you’re looking for more detailed explanations, a nutritionist would be a better source than a random Lemmy user. I know anything I say is likely not to change your mind.

      From my research, it doesn’t seem like that method is harmful to humans, at least not more than not eating fruits.

      You would rather eat green bananas or bruised bananas? Do you even know what ethylene oxide is?

            I have a hard time believing that your concern for my body is genuine. It feels more like a negative remark directed toward my previous statement rather than a sincere expression of concern. I don’t think you’re fooling anyone with that approach.
