Many kinds of fruit rely on ethephon ripening experts suggest eating more seasonal fruits.
morning news reporter Sun Tao
banana ripening, does it harm human body? A few days ago, the CCTV "truth survey" column on the market sale of bananas have been tracked, confirmed that the use of ethephon ripening bananas in the national legal standard is harmless to the human body. But people in the industry said that because of the current use of ethephon ripening fruit in reality, there is no unified standard of consumption in our country, and the quantity and quantity are all controlled by the users. Some people reach the goal of rapidly ripening fruits, and the proportion of drugs is far beyond the required standard.
survey:
a variety of fruit by Ethephon ripening
even day, the media gradually exposed the phenomenon of fruit using ethephon, such as bananas, mango and other fruits. What fruits have been ripened? The reporter came to a large agricultural product wholesale market in Tongzhou District yesterday morning. In the fruit area, the reporter saw a van full of bananas and mangoes parked at the front door of the store. Vendors were busy unloading the goods.
"have you ever heard of banana ethephon ripening?" A reporter asked, a young man who was carrying a car under the box shyly smiled. He said he knew nothing about the ripening of the banana, but he didn't understand what he was using. "I don't usually eat it anyway."
shopkeeper Tang (a pseudonym) told reporters that he would not normally let children eat ripening fruits. "I have been selling fruits for more than ten years, but I still know some."
Tang said, according to Mr. Tang, he understands, now many fruits are to reduce the cost of stock in order to catch the time of listing. Besides bananas, mango and other common fruits, some people use ethylene to ripening kiwi, persimmons, jujube and so on. "I heard that the lychee and longan are soaked with Ethephon diluents, so that the fruit can be seen. It's more red and fresh. "
remind:
buy time fruit to avoid ethephon
in the early April of this year, when the reporter bought fruit in the new market, the newly listed yellow orange mango moved to the heart, but a relatively chatter of good shopkeepers told reporters: "you want to buy, then wait two months, now, now, now wait two months, now, now, now wait, now, now, now wait two months, now, now, now The mango is smoked with lime and ethephon. "
Mr. Tang said he hoped to remind the public through the media that they should be careful when buying fruit and buy as little as possible. According to his experience in fruit sales for many years, there are still some simple ways to identify ripening fruits. For example, mango, green after lime and ethephon cover yellow, the epidermis looks yellow, but it does not eat mango flavor. Bananas are easily ripened by Ethephon.
some fruit growers will "ethephon" on the base of persimmon. This kind of persimmon is generally softer than ordinary persimmon and its color is also redder. "Tomato is also the same, the color is too red, and the epidermis is soft. After cutting, there is still a lot of water in it. It is usually used as a matting agent to ripening."
