Why we should avoid eating Morris /G9 banana :

Ever thought hought the following while buying bananas ?
☑️Banana in markets are so shining and evenly shaped
☑️ No mosquito or flies bothering fresh bananas
☑️ No ripened fragrance emanating from these banana

☑️ Tasting raw than it appears outside
☑️ No dots ever appeared on the banana
☑️ Neck of banana is so stiff so that banana pulp never withered off from the neck

☑️Neck of banana is never black or ripened

☑️Honest answer for above is these are genetically engineered banana features

☑️These are bananas grown from tissue culture saplings and does involve special engineering for texture, yield and even ripening time

☑️These are farmers friendly as these high yield

☑️ In my opinion these are just bananas by appearance and taste never in terms of nutrition as these are genetically engineered right from growing to ripening

☑️Cytogenetically engineered for high yield, short-term, disease resistance

☑️ These bananas can never match nutrients

My major concerns are below

☑️These banana trees can't bear offshoot by themselves would require tissue culture processed saplings from banana seeds (Monsanto greed)
☑️Pesticide are mostly injected on the plant
☑️Yield is thrice of normal and in half of time

Why you should avoid Packet Curd :
Curd is a vital ingredient of our daily diet and it is a essential fermented probiotic food to ensure proper digestion of the food we eat

Per Ayurveda , there are different type of curds

-Thick Semi Formed Curd
-Sweet Curd
-Sweet & Sour Curd

-Sour Curd
-Very Sour Curd

-This classification is purely based on the probiotic culture growth on the curd and the age of the curd

-Each curd has different benefits to your health and used for treating different ailments

- Very Sour Curd is the most beneficial curd to our body as it increases the digestive fire /biological fire /Agni that exists in your body

- Proper balance of the digestive fire is key for maintaining good gut health

-Packet curd is not curd at first instance as it is formed by monoculture of single microbial culture rather varied microbial culture like how it is made at home
-This is done to ensure curd is not turning sour so fast and limits the culture growth & long shelf life

- Another method is coagulating the milk or cheese to curd using a enzyme called "Rennet "

-Rennet Coagulation is mostly widely followed diary practice as it is quick ,cheap and easy

- Vegetarians should avoid this as Rennet enzyme is derived from the stomach of young calf

- Good Bone health

There is lots of adulteration happening with ghee due to increased demand for unpasteurised milk and reduced cow population

Cows were part of every Indian household now it's hardly a family member

Most of diary based ghee are buffalo ghee / imported oil fats or vegetable fats

*dairy

So how check it's purity

- Teaspoon test

Take a teaspoon of ghee heat the teaspoon on lowest flame like diya or birthday candle or burning cowdung dhoop top

Pure one will melt in two seconds and turns dark brown

Adulterated one will take more than a minute to melt and it will turn yellow instead of dark brown as butter and ghee contains artificial food colour for yellowish texture
