The difference between straight bananas and curved bananas: When bananas are growing, in order to protect the small bananas, they are hidden under the banana leaves. As the light and nutrients increase, the bananas will gradually grow larger and grow towards areas with sunlight, causing them to slowly bend.

There are two situations with straight bananas on the market, either due to insufficient lighting, which prevents them from facing the sunlight, or because the bananas have not yet started to bend and are picked.

Therefore, when buying bananas, it is best to choose a bent banana, which has a higher maturity and a better taste. When choosing bananas, you also need to master the following three points in order to buy more delicious bananas.

Point 1: Look at the color of the banana handleExcept for Hainan, Guangxi, and other places, most of the bananas eaten are ripened by ethylene, which is not harmful to the human body. However, there are some bananas that are not soft, fragrant, or sticky after being ripened due to premature picking.

If you want to see whether bananas are picked too early, just look at the handle. If the banana looks yellow and the handle is very green, The maturity of this type of banana is only 5-60%. We suggest that you do not buy this type of banana. If the banana handle is slightly yellow or yellow, the maturity of this banana is at least 70%. After ripening, it will be super sweet to eat.

Point 2: Smell the smell of bananasNo matter what type of fruit it is, as long as the fruit smells good, its taste will definitely not be very bad, and like bananas, if you buy bananas and find that they smell a strong aroma, the taste and sweetness of this banana will definitely not be bad, and it is worth purchasing.

Point 3: Check if the banana is crackedSome bananas will burst at the bottom when they grow due to too much nitrogen fertilizer spread by fruit growers, while some bananas will also burst at the bottom when they are subjected to continuous rainstorm in the process of expansion. I suggest not to buy such burst bananas, which are easy to rot and deteriorate after ripening. When buying bananas, it is important to choose bananas that are yellow in color, without large black spots, and do not crack.
