Re: My 2-bits about Raw Food only
Just a little more food for thought. What if we think of the container our Natural food comes in as an indicator of its negative ion content:
What are the stages of a ripening banana?
Answer:
Stage 1 - Hard and Green
This is how bananas are when freshly picked.
Stage 2 - Green with trace of yellow
The maturing process has begun, however there is still some time before they are ready to eat.
Stage 3 - More yellow than green
The ripening has begun in earnest and the fruit is now increasing its natural sugar content, the flesh is changing from the chalky hardness of under ripe fruit.
Stage 4 - Yellow with Green hint
That familiar creamy texture is developing now, and as the natural sugar content rises; the fruit is getting ready for eating.
Stage 5 - All yellow with green tip on crown
Ready to eat! The fruit is sweet, creamy and on the firmer side. Even though it is yummy, it still does not have its complete full sweet flavor.
Stage 6 - All yellow
At the peak of freshness now, and delicious to eat. The fruit is also starting to soften as it ages and is heading towards its top sugar content.
Stage 7 - Yellow with brown "sugar spots"
The sugar content is now at its peak; the flesh is perfect and has softened for easy mashing and blending.

Note the appearance of sugar, a storage medium for negative ions...
