INCREASE BANANA'S SWEETNESS BY PEELING IT PROPERLY.

YOU CAN BOOST A BANANA'S SWEETNESS BY PEELING IT PROPERLY.  MOST PEOPLE PEEL BANANA'S BY PULLING ITS STEM. THIS IS A LOGICAL METHOD & THE SUCCESS RATE IS HIGH EXCEPT WHEN THE TOP IS MUSHY.

BUT THIS IS THE WRONG WAY OF PEELING A BANANA.

THE RIGHT WAY OF PEELING A BANANA IS THE WAY IN WHICH A MONKEY PEELS A BANANA.

HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT

Step 1. Hold the banana with its stem pointing downwards then pinch the tip gently.

Step 2. Peel the banana downwards towards its stem using your fingers.

2 MAJOR ADVANTAGE S

• YOU CAN PEEL THE BANANA PRETTY QUICKLY & MORE EFFICIENTLY.

•  THE SWEETNESS OF THE BANANA INCREASES OVER ALL BECAUSE THE FRONT END SIDE OF THE BANANA(NOT THE STEM) CONTAINS MOST OF THE NUTRIENTS & IS THEREFORE MORE SWEET. THUS BY PEELING THE BANANA FROM THE BOTTOM YOU GET TO TASTE THE SWEET PART FIRST.

BOOST BANANA'S SWEETNESS BY HEATING IT

LIKE A  SWEET POTATO AN UNRIPE GREEN BANANA CONTAINS 20%  OF STARCH WHICH WHEN HEATED GETS CONVERTED INTO SUGAR. THIS IS WHY SWEET POTATOES ARE BAKED. AN ENZYME CALLED AMYLASE BREAKS DOWN THE STARCH INTO SUGAR BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.

HOW TO MAKE A BANANA FRUIT SUPER SWEET

STEP 2

HOW TO EXTEND SHELF LIFE OF BANANAS.
BANANAS TURN FROM YELLOW TO  BLACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS. YOU CAN EXTEND THERE SHELF LIFE BY FOLLOWING THESE METHODS.

METHOD 1
SEPARATE THE BANANAS.  BANANAS RIPEN QUICKLY IF THEY ARE ATTACHED BECAUSE BANANAS EMIT ETHYLENE GAS(NATURALLY PRODUCED BY PLANTS WHICH ACT AS A RIPENING HORMONE) ON THE OTHER BANANAS WHICH MAKE THEM RIPEN QUICKLY. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IF YOU KEEP BANANAS NEAR TO APPLES.

BY FOLLOWING THIS METHOD YOU CAN EXTEND THE SHELF LIFE OF BANANAS FOR 2 MORE DAYS.

METHOD 2
EXTEND SHELF LIFE BY 2 TO 3 WEEKS.

BY KEEPING A BANANA IN WATER OF TEMPERATURE FIFTY DEGREE CELSIUS YOU INCREASE THE HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS(WHICH SLOWS DOWN AGING).THEREFORE HIGH LEVELS OF HEAT SHOCK PROTEINS MAKE THE BANANA MORE RESISTANT TO ETHYLENE GAS & WILL DELAY SPOILING. HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT

• SUBMERGE THE BANANA IN HOT WATER ( 50 DEGREE CELSIUS) FOR 5 MINUTES
• REMOVE FROM HOT EATER & COOL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR 1 HOUR
• RAP THE BANANA IN A POLY BAG & STORE IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR
