Fishy Fruit

[maskedmelon]

I have noticed that some fruits smell fishy. At first I thought it was bad or contaminated and so through it away. I was much more cautious from that point forward and made sure to give any new fruit a good sniff before committing to it. it surprised me to find hat pretty much all bananas and grapes have this fishy smell. It don't matter which store I buy it from or what one of year or anything. It all smells like fish if you sniff it. Washing it doesn't seem to do much good and if it does, the smell just returns unless you eat it all immediately.

Anyone else notice this? What's going on here?

Try washing your hands before handling fruits and vegetables.

Harharhar, tho funny.

I am actually being serious here. Go buy some grape and sniff them. Or bannanas, they seem more pungent.

some grapes do have an unpleasant smell yes

don't use vagina to clean fruits before smelling them

Factory fish farming creates an incredible amount of waste. Proper disposal of said waste would cost the fishmongers vast sums, so in the pursuit of commerce they simply relabel it as fertilizer.

Or, it could be that some minimum-wage employee at your local grocer loves seafood and has been knuckling out gooey pearls upon the produce. I dunno, not really a food scientist or anything.

Applications
Trimethylamine is used in the synthesis of choline, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, plant growth regulators or herbicides, strongly basic anion exchange resins, dye leveling agents and a number of basic dyes.[10][12] Gas sensors to test for fish freshness detect trimethylamine.

Plant hormones are signal molecules produced within the plant, and occur in extremely low concentrations. Hormones regulate cellular processes in targeted cells locally and, moved to other locations, in other functional parts of the plant. Hormones also determine the formation of flowers, stems, leaves, the shedding of leaves, and the development and ripening of fruit. Plants, unlike animals, lack glands that produce and secrete hormones. Instead, each cell is capable of producing hormones. Plant hormones shape the plant, affecting seed growth, time of flowering, the sex of flowers, senescence of leaves, and fruits. They affect which tissues grow upward and which grow downward, leaf formation and stem growth, fruit development and ripening, plant longevity, and even plant death. Hormones are vital to plant growth, and, lacking them, plants would be mostly a mass of undifferentiated cells. So they are also known as growth factors or growth hormones.
