Why are chemicals used in fruits?
Now this must be coming in your mind that why these chemicals are used in cooking these fruits and why these fruits cannot be cooked naturally. There are many reasons behind this like it takes a lot of time for the fruits to reach the market and to be kept in storage, during this time the naturally ripe fruits can get spoiled, hence these fruits are taken raw from one place to another and after reaching the place they are cooked with chemicals, the second reason is that it takes a lot of time to ripen naturally whereas a chemical like calcium carbide ripens the fruits in a very short time.
How to identify ripe fruits from chemicals?
