Mango, the king of fruits has entered the market. It is mango season. The markets are full of mangoes. The demand for mango is high as people like it more. But many times chemicals are used in the market for quick ripening of mangoes.

They are artificially injected with chemicals. This makes the mango ripen quickly. But it’s hard to find. Everyone is surprised to see the size and color of the mango. Here are some tips to identify chemically overripe mangoes.

Which chemical is used?
Mango is mixed with calcium carbide. Acetylene gas is released when exposed to moisture. This makes the mangoes ripen quickly.
If consumed, it can cause serious health risks such as skin irritation, respiratory problems and gastrointestinal problems.

ethylene
Fruit traders also use ‘ethylene treatment’ in which fruits are exposed to ethylene gas. This gas is a natural plant hormone that stimulates the ripening process in fruits.

 

see color
While buying mangoes, do look at the color of the mango teeth. When mangoes are ripened by chemicals, green spots appear on them and can be seen separately.

Taste
There is a difference in the taste of mango whether it is naturally ripe or carbed. Even after eating ripe mangoes, the swelling caused by the sourness of raw mangoes is exactly the same as when eating artificial fruits. Also, the fruits look yellow in color but are very sour to eat.

 

Look at the size as well as the shape of the mango, which lets you know whether the mango has been cultivated with chemicals or not. , Chemically ripened mangoes are very small and a lot of juice can be seen coming out of them. Also, if the mango is looking white or blue then do not buy it. This way you will be able to identify chemically ripe mangoes.

immerse in water
While buying mangoes, place the mangoes in a bucket of water and see which ones sink and which ones float on the surface of the water. This is called dip test. Immersed mangoes ripen naturally. But if you see mangoes floating above.. understand that they have been cultivated with chemicals.

emphasis
It is very easy to differentiate between ripe and sweet mangoes. While buying mangoes, press it slightly. Mangoes are considered ripe when they become soft. But if the mango is hard at some places when pressed, then know that the mango is not ripe enough and chemicals are being grown and sold.
