One trick to identify artificially ripened melons and fruits

"Jiangnan Leather Factory, Jiangnan Leather Factory..." Sorry about that, wrong scene.

"Cherries, watermelons, cherry tomatoes, bananas, strawberries, big mangoes" "Hey, comrade, move your foot."

It's melon and fruit season again. Some vendors use hormones or ripening agents to seek exorbitant profits, so you must be careful when buying fruit. The editor has compiled some common methods for identifying melons and fruits.

Cherries (chelanzi/cherries), because they are expensive, are very often treated with ripening agents or chemical preparations. Besides judging by smell, you can also observe their appearance. Those that are mostly misshapen are generally treated with hormones or ripening agents, and there are also obvious differences in color depth. Of course, if you can taste before buying, those that are too sour must have been artificially ripened.

Strawberries: it is easy to tell whether hormones were used based on their shape. Naturally ripe ones are streamlined and conical, while artificially ripened ones have all kinds of bizarre shapes. The editor has even seen square ones. It is also recommended not to buy those with uneven color. After breaking them open, those that are hollow are generally artificially ripened strawberries too. Of course, if you can taste before buying, you will surely find it easy to tell.

Watermelons: this is a bit more troublesome. When the editor buys watermelons, it is always tapping this one and patting that one, then casually picking one... Normally ripened watermelons are round or oval, with evenly deep and light rind color, and when tapped lightly, the other hand feels a vibration.

Lychees: lychees soaked in hydrochloric acid are very common in the market. After being soaked in hydrochloric acid, lychees look very beautiful, but when eaten they are completely different. When buying, you can pick them up and smell the surface. If there is a pungent odor, they were very likely soaked in hydrochloric acid, and the fingers that touched the lychee surface will also have a slight burning sensation.

The editor has summarized: first is shape, try not to buy misshapen ones; try not to buy those with uneven color; try not to buy those with a pungent odor.
