Bananas sold on the streets, such as those found at Airport North-Ring road roundabouts, have raised questions about their sourcing and ripening methods.
According to the statement, bananas available in the market are often forced to ripen by being dipped in water mixed with Carbide, a practice that allegedly makes them 100% likely to cause cancer or stomach infections.
To identify bananas ripened with Carbide, it is advised to look for those that are lemon yellow, have green stalks, and lack black spots, as opposed to naturally ripened bananas which are dark yellow with small black spots and black stalks.
Carbide is a chemical that emits heat when mixed with water, and its excessive use in ripening bananas can lead to health problems, including tumor formation in the digestive system.
The original account warns consumers to choose naturally ripened bananas to avoid potential health risks.
