Why Do Bananas Bruise?

Why Do Bananas Bruise?

•

Episode description

Luna asks: Why do bananas bruise? And why are their bruises black and brown, not like our skin which gets black and blue? We peel open the science of banana bruises — polyphenols, enzymes, and melanin — and compare them to human bruises with hemoglobin doing a whole rainbow of colors. Plus a tropical reggae-pop song about the banana’s bruise plan!
