What fruits can be ripened

Fruit ripening is a very controversial practice. Supporters mostly think that the ethylene used in fruits does not harm our health and allows us to enjoy the deliciousness of fruits earlier; opponents say that ethylene-ripened fruits will cause the loss of nutritional value, which is not worth the cost. The editor believes that some fruits must be ripened, which can bring more benefits. So what fruits can be ripened?

What fruits can be ripened

1. As a general rule, fruits that are picked before they are ripe, such as bananas, apples, and grapes, generally need to be ripened before they can be put on the market for sale. However, mangoes, persimmons, and kiwis may be put on the shelves without being ripened because they are easy to rot and have a short shelf life.

2. If you buy some mangoes, persimmons, kiwis and other fruits that are not very ripe, you don’t have to choose ethylene to ripen them. You can choose fruits such as apples to ripen them. This can not only overcome the problem of nutritional value loss, but also allow you to eat the fruits earlier.

3. In summary, it is best to avoid using chemicals such as ethylene to ripen fruits. You can wait for the fruits to ripen naturally, or use natural methods to ripen them, which can kill two birds with one stone.
