Many people have asked me if ripening bananas with Ethylene is dangerous to our health.

During the growth and development period of bananas, there are many chemical and physical changes that occur. These have an impact on the fruit quality after harvesting. Normally, ripening is the final stage in fruit maturation. During ripening, the fruit changes colour, flavour, texture and aroma to optimal eating sensorial and textural properties. The agent that triggers these changes during maturation of bananas is a chemical called Ethylene. Ethylene is a gas naturally produced by plants e.g to trigger leaves to turn yellow and fall off during certain seasons like winter.
