I'd love to see a video about how fruits are artificially ripened by ethylene treatment.

[foodskey]

@LechuCzechu we'll be doing that!

Well ok, not saying that I didn't liked it, actually I find this channel very interesting as to see that my country exports a lot of commodities but the real research is only made at the countries wich import them(yes that's why I hate my country) and can't grow any of them.

But didn't quite saw any science related to the foods yet, I hope those are introduction videos.

@Draxis32 hi, I think you'll find plenty of science in upcoming videos... never like to cram too much into any one video, and I think the thrust of this one was "an interesting perspective on how a scientist gets his hands on the fruit"

stay tuned though. :)

interestingly enough:

Banana skin will turn black in the fridge, but the inside still stays fresh and edible for a lot longer.

@foodskey i have been watching your videos for so long that i read all your comments in your accent within my head......

The world's most expensive/best paid?

US$200 paid for each live fish weighing 0.3 kg!

Google this:(fvn.no > Ny oppdrettsfisk er gull verdt) This money will be paid in Norway for delivery of wrasse-fishes to the salmon farming of fish! These fishes eliminates the need for chemicals and antibiotics in salmon farming, because they eat lice (Gyrodactilus salaris) directly from the skin of salmon.

See 2 friends diving among this kind of fish at the Norwegian coast:

Stupidity, oh my, you waste ton of money on flying in mango's, did it never occur to you to use that money to fly in mature mango tree's instead ?

Why do you not just import some mature mango tree's then ?

Bloody hell, don't over complicate it.

I love this YT page!

This guy's CV must be interesting. "Since 2006 - working on mangoes."

@pikuorguk perhaps too cold - soil/ambient also ...enough light ? / similar species on same space -spent soil ?

@treemarble I managed hundreds of chilli peppers this year, but only one of my normal peppers grew and never went past the 'Tesco Value' stage of green and bitter tasting.
