Food Hackz

@healthwithcory 🤯 More Food Hacks 👉 Which of these have you personally tried? 🫐 Blueberries: As blueberries ripen their specific gravity compared to water changes and they will sink when fully ripe and sweet. ( PMID: 32466569 ) 🍌 Bananas: Wrapping banana stems in foil slows ripening by trapping ethylene gas at the source, keeping the fruit fresh longer. 🍳 Eggs: As an egg ages, the small air pocket inside it grows larger as water is released and replaced by air. If the air pocket becomes large enough, the egg may float. #foodhacks #health #fruit ♬ original sound - Cory Rodriguez
