And, with this small comment, I have become a banana-washer
- Stratoscope 4y agoAh, but are the fruit fly eggs on the banana peel or in it? I do have a friend who insists on washing a banana before peeling it, and washing an avocado before cutting into it. At first I thought it was silly, but it actually makes sense. You're probably going to touch the banana with the same hands you got dirty from the peel, and the knife could push anything icky on the outside of the avocado peel into the delicious fruit.
- jve 4y agoMoreover you never know how many different hands handled those fruits and how much chemicals did it endure until it landed on your table. And you are touching that banana too.
- aqme28 4y agoI don't know how you eat a banana, but I'll basically never touch the banana itself.
- pitaj 4y agoYou should wash everything you cut through: avocados, melons, etc. Because the knife blade spreads germs into the innards as it cuts through. A banana is different. Unless you touch the fruit, the germs from the outer skin don't come in contact with it.
- wasmitnetzen 4y agoDon't worry, the eggs won't survive your stomach acids.
