If you have ever been to the gardens, you have often noticed that most fruits are green when raw. As they begin to ripen, their color changes.
When they are fully cooked, they automatically break down and fall down.
The real question is why and how it all happens. After all, which technology does the gardener use, which causes the fruit to change color and inform about its ripening.
Why are raw fruits green?
The raw fruit is green in color because of its “chloroplasts” in its upper surface (skin). Due to this, the fruit appears green.
This means that the fruit planted on the tree’s tree is taking food from the sunlight and consuming it and growing.
What are chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts means green plant cells that contain chlorophyll and process photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of consuming food from sunlight.
Why does the fruit change color after ripening?
Now we have told you what chloroplasts are
As it turns into a chloroplast “chromoplast”, the color of the fruit changes and it mostly changes to red.
The ripening process of the fruit is a chemical process. This ripening process changes the taste, color and aroma of the fruit.
When the fruit ripens, the amount of acid in it also increases, but we do not feel it, because at the same time the starch of the fruit turns into sugar.
As chloroplast degrades. Or it decreases. The green color of the fruit starts decreasing.
New pigments are also produced in the ripening process of raw fruit. The fruit’s ethylene hormone accelerates its ripening process.
Any fruit is green as long as it is growing by taking food from sunlight. When it is fully developed, it stops eating food and keeps changing its color.
In this way the gardener realizes that the fruit is fully grown and can now be used. The same principle works in the case of tree leaves and waving crops in the fields.
Summary Why are raw fruits green?
Any fruit is green as long as it is consuming food from sunlight. When it is fully developed, it stops food intake and gradually changes its color.
