While the banana is ripe due to the medicine, the outer yellow skin is very beautiful and eye-catching, but when squeezed, the banana feels awkward. 2. Rambutan Rambutan, when sprayed, will ripen early but quickly wither. Normally, the wilting process of rambutan takes place very quickly, only a few hours after being cut from the tree. The way to recognize sprayed rambutan is that the fruit has fresh branches and leaves, but the beard on the fruit is wilted and crumpled. Ripe rambutan trees will give fruit with healthy and fresh beard, so 2-3 days later, it still hasn’t wilted. 3. Mangosteen Ripe mangosteen has a very fresh stalk and ripens in patches, from the tip of the stem to the bottom of the fruit.

Durian With durians that are forced to ripen by medicine or ripen naturally, users can identify by immediately looking at the stem and spines of the fruit when choosing to buy. If the peduncle is old withered, the spines are bruised, and the color is old, the fruit is cut when young and has been soaked or injected with drugs.

To tell if an avocado is young or old, look at its stem, if the stem is large, it means the avocado is young. Therefore, it is important that you choose ripe and fresh avocados. Do not touch the soft fruit, because it has spoiled, at least no longer has a delicious taste. Squeeze gently, if it feels a bit soft but still firm, not squeaky. Or you can click on the stem, find it a bit soft, then choose, even if the other part is not soft, because it will gradually ripen towards the tail (but should only be eaten when the fruit is fully ripe). A delicious ripe avocado has a glossy but still slightly rough skin, firm hand. 9. Jackfruit Jackfruit is one of the most drug-induced “ripe” fruits on the market today, so how to recognize it is also quite easy.

In addition, the area near the stalk of the jackfruit fruit (the usual place to inject the ripe stimulant) will be mushy, while the tail of the fruit has just ripened. Natural ripe jackfruit will have characteristics such as enlarged spines, yellow-green, gray-gray and ripen evenly from the stem to the bottom of the fruit. ten.
