Actress Sameera Reddy recently revealed how long bananas actually take to ripen naturally.
On Thursday, the ‘De Dana Dan’ actress shared a video on her Instagram handle where she discussed the natural ripening process of bananas. Sameera emphasized the noticeable difference in taste and quality. She noted that the bananas, sourced from her backyard in Goa, required an entire week to ripen beautifully to a golden color because they were free from pesticides.
Reddy further mentioned her growing knowledge about the banana plant, including the uses of the banana flower and stem in everyday cooking. She raised a broader question regarding food safety, encouraging everyone to consider how safe our food really is, highlighting that a whole week to ripen naturally definitely gives one pause for thought.
In the video, Reddy expressed, “so sweet, the taste is so different. There are no pesticides in these bananas and that is why it took one week, one whole week to become this beautiful golden colour. These bananas are from our backyard in Goa and I’m really learning so much about how you can use the banana flower, the banana stem and so much about the plant itself.”
She also addressed her followers’ inquiries about the ripening time, saying, “Now the bananas that we get in the market spoil really fast and obviously they’ve been given pesticides. Food that we’re eating, how safe is it? Just a question here. A follower pointed this out, so here’s your answer. One week to ripen makes you wonder, right?”
In her video’s caption, the actress wrote, “Learning about growing fruits and veggies at home has really made me realize how much we don’t know of what’s going into the food we eat.”
Previously, Sameera Reddy shared another video, where she highlighted the benefits of banana stem water, stating it can help flush out toxins, reduce bloating, and support healthy digestion.
