That is a frightening thought. One lab accident and we'd all be slaves.

My theory is that Lord buddy has already far surpassed Cody and the rest of humanity, he only wishes to keep it hidden to not draw attention to the master plans.

so this means banana bread should contain a pretty decent amount of potassium
Fuck yeah that's TOTALLY why I eat the whole thing in one shot
holy shit you're right
How is your comment 17 hours ago while video is from 1 hour ago

No wonder my banana bread glows, it's practically radioactive.
Correction: If you want potassium, you must eat only the most delicious part of the banana. The deep green peel.

Wow that's pretty weird, I knew fiber and sugar content changed with ripening but I wouldn't have expected mineral content to change much. That does make sense as you explain it though! The peel is giving its moisture to aid in the ripening of the fruit, and I wonder if the migrating minerals are also playing a biological role in ripening or just a side effect.
I'm just guesstimating here, but potassium is some kind of regulator in proceses of enzymatic decay and cell death. In other words, K supresses nuclear compounds in the cell that activate its own death, so, in order to preserve the fruit, or the seeds more so, the plant has some mechanism to migrate the potassium from the peel to preserve the fruit some more time. ish?
Indeed, it’s bananas!
I think there may be another factor at play here.
In Brazil, there is a banana I like a lot, Banana Terra. I've noticed that the peel gets thinner is it ripens, even within the same bunch, meaning that the boundary between what is peel and fruit isn't that clear cut, and changes with ripeness.
I am not sure if the same occurs with Cavendish, and if it does, I suspect it would be to a lesser extent, but any amount of 'peel' being left behind on the banana would help explain this discrepancy.
@@Nevir202 Wait, non-Cavendish bananas still exist? It's a pretty commonly-believed myth in the USA that Cavendish bananas are the only ones that survived a plague. We only get Cavendish and plantains up here.
@@LieseFury That's so backwards that it's laughable, the plague is affecting ONLY Cavendish bananas, as they're a monoculture any time it's detected, they have to slash and burn the entire grove to prevent propagation
So if anything, you might have to get used to a different type at some point.
But ya, there are at least half a dozen types here that I see regularly, terra, prato, ouro, nanica, maca.
i knew you'd never be able to resist making flash powder out of that perchlorate. Not in a billion years.
Theres the comment Ive been looking for xD
I thought it's chlorate
@@davemwangi05 i thought he used ammonium perchlorate for the extraction. its har to find ammonium chlorate in bulk
We all know who watched to the end!
Wonder how many people closed the video early?
I almost did.
Probably be demonetarized for it.
Maybe next you can dry out the "meats" of the green and ripe bananas to test the potassium levels for a more definitive answer.
Yeah, the funny part is he now had 2 perfect samples of it available but didn't choose to test them to double check the findings
@@scania9786 im guessing the methodology to extract from the fruits themselves is a far more complicated matter to isolate the potassium perchlorate.
well it surely would make more sense to do that in the first place, who cares about the non-edible part :D :D but the processing part is less messy for sure
@@mguy19
It's the same process there's just a higher volume to dehydrate and burn down.
@@Jake-dp1if It could go into the air
Love the Ethylene molecule at 2:26!
It was actually full of ethylene. 😊
@@theCodyReeder was it just for the hint or would it actually help ripen the bananas as ethylene diffuses out?
@@PabloGarcia-ff1pi it helps, but bananas also produce their own so keeping them in a closed container accelerates ripening
I love the hidden ethylene oxide in test swabs. It's gunna help increase cancer rates and our chemozerapy business will boom.
@@nirodper Would be nice if someone invented a greenhouse that in which would be occasionally sprayed ethylene into the air to accelerate the growing process.

With what was the Potassium Perchlorate mixed in the end of the vid? Looks like carbon, but I'm not really sure of that. Also, can't be gunpowder, since gunpowder alone could create the same effect.
@@Ygr3ku KClO4 (I think that's perchlorate, don't shoot me) is a powerful oxidizer. Pretty much anything that burns can be used as the fuel in your flash powder, including things like powdered sugar and flour. I assume Cody just used charcoal.
If played worms and them Banana bombs were full on
Heat resistant paper, nice!
Yeah. It's called asbestos paper.
You should have measured the potassium from the flesh of the banana also, to confirm that it's really what's happening
But banana yummy 🍌 🐒
I agree, it looks like when the fruit is peeled green more of the meat comes with it. Hence he had more mass of peels with green
@@cheeto4493 Well yeah, but he said that the peels got thinner at the end in the conclusion. So if the goal is to determine the amount of potassium you eat, it makes sense to use the natural separation layer as the boundary between "peel" and "flesh".
@@cheeto4493 You'll notice at 2:11 that he weighed the bananas and divided them evenly into groups before peeling, so the fact that the ripened bananas had thinner skins isn't relevant to the experiment.
@@kevinm4157 Two things:
1) "when the fruit is peeled green more of the meat comes with it," if this is true, then that could be source of error. This problem is resolved by scraping both ripe and unripped bananas from that possible "flesh." After all, you are trying to separate the peel from the flesh, any flesh in the peel is a source of error for measuring.
2) "he weighed the bananas and divided them evenly into groups before peeling." Except not all banana _peels_ would weight the same. I had trouble with the fact that he did not weight the banana peels after drying them to get the biomass, and then once more after burning them this is in order to figure out how much the mass of the peel affects the content of K in the peel: more peel mass, thus more potassium mass. There is also another problem, which is he processed each batch separately from each other and THAT can be a source of error. All in all, it is possible that he could've had less banana peel mass and that his extraction process could've yielded less percentage of K for ripped banana peels, which would have resulted in those differences. I repeat, POSSIBLE. Whether that's true or not, we don't know, and while we don't know, we have to deem the results inconclusive.
Note: There is no need to extract K from the flesh (since you can deduce where those differences come from), but for this small experiment it would've been a tiny bit better to see the flesh:peel ratio of K. And, as a matter of fact, if his hypothesis is that K moves from the peel to the flesh, he DOES need to make that ratio, otherwise he's not testing that hypothesis, but one that states "Peel K content is different in ripped and unripped bananas." Using a ratio would be considered direct evidence of K moving from the peel to the flesh (assuming no other environmental sources of K).
I'm glad Buddy was there to oversee the work.
I love the insinuation that the paper is fireproof. 😂😂

It's sort of funny to see just a bunch of bananas chilling out being recorded and handled by a human like it's an average day lol
9:20 Scared the crap out of that beetle in the background!
I really like how chill Bud is :-) I'd have expected a cat (particularly a younger one) to be curious about everything and possibly interfering a bit, but no, he's a very serious lab assistant :-D
The result was basically my prediction aswell. I suspected that water would migrate to the fruit due to the ripening process (starch gets converted to sugars). Which leads to a higher concentration of potassium in the peel compared to the fruit and therefore favors the diffusion from the peel to the flesh.
Thank you
Oh snap, I thought the same thing. Use it as an osmolyte to drag across the water from skin to flesh.
could also be the peel gets dehydrated, higher concentration in the peel so diffuses to the flesh
@@johnsmith-sp6yl So potassium will migrate to my body if I place banana peels on my skin

How about the banana tree? Really wanted to see if you can extract Potassium from an entire banana tree.
Then... how much Potassium does a banana tree "mines" from the soil in a banana tree lifetime?
@@PandemoniumMeltDown I think a banana tree make the fruit then it dies. (the new one that sprout from the base is tiny, so a banana tree's whole lifetime is to make the fruit)
5:52 realisation & mental pat on back, hehe
neat bonus clip at the end, too. cheers, cody! :D
That little "yessss" after the explosion at the end ❤️
Bananas need to ripen on the plant and also the soil needs to be high in potassium there's a special fertilizer for bananas high in potassium on the NPK levels. Sadly like all fruit (tomatoes too) are ripened in the warehouse and not on the plants and thus devoid of their supposed nutrients. Backyard farming is probably the only way to go to get proper nutrients these days.
If the soil is sufficiently fertilized.

I was waiting for this. Thanks Cody!
Being a Patreon is cool, because you get early access to awesome content :)
The explosion at the end was sweet!
Following on twitter also helps!
honestly? what's with this FOMO and culture of always wanting to be first to everything?
I enjoy the videos as they come out. Either they come out, or they don't. having a video before other people always sounded stupidly useless to me, just like preorders and people rushing into stores to buy things as they come out. so useless.
EDIT: ofc this doesn't mean you shouldn't support cody on patreon, he definitely deserves it, and chemicals/ lab tech are expensive.
Wait I am not a patreon and I got this early😀
Literally, you sponsored this video. Thank You!!!❤
Wow, what an interesting video! It brings up a lot of questions about how ripened bananas differ from their unripened counterparts. Is it the saturation of the banana with water from the peel that changes the texture to something less "dry" and "fibery"?
there's also enzymatic processes that change the texture, taste, and color of the banana. it's a lot more complicated than it seems.
It's preparing the fruit to lure microorganisms in and stocking the nutrients to feed the soil food web that will make nutrients available to the seedling. Except bananas have been modified to the point where they don't seed naturally anymore.
I literally watched the original potassium from banana video yesterday XD. Great video Cody!
Keep up the great work Cody
man, I wish I had money then I could become a Patreon and support Cody!

Love the little extras at the end
Hey Cody! Avocados actually have more potassium than bananas, with 485 mg potassium/100 g compared to bananas with 358 mg/ 100 g. Is there a way to extract potassium from avocados?
It's also more expensive
There is a huge part of this experiment missing. Without also extracting the potassium from the flesh of the bananas. You have not proved that the potassium was absorbed from the peel. You have only proved that the amount of potassium in the peel reduces as the fruit ripens.
Yeah well hindsight... 😅
@@theCodyReeder Time for experiment #3 :P
@@theCodyReeder Time for a re-re-do Cody :))
Well according to a study thats already been done the potassium level does not change throughout the ripening process so...
Honestly I was thinking the same thing. I hope you at least made lots of smoothies or something

Love it! Good content Cody
Why is this unlisted??
I also wonder if it makes a difference between the old bananas and the current strain of banana. Gros Michel vs Cavendish
Or whatever comes after the Cavendish finally succumbs to the fungus.

Buddy is a good safety cat. He is very diligent about supervising Cody.
Also, I just eat fruit with peel as long as the peel isn't toxic. The peels aren't usually bitter, so I just wash and chop the fruit into bite-sized pieces and it's about as tasty as it was before except I'm getting more potassium, fiber and probably several other nutrients from the same amount of fruit.
Very well executed and documented experiment Cody.

I suggest that you build a rig to take one or more deep core samples from your property. Then you could analyze their content for valuable metals especially rare earth metals. The big search for wealth right now seems to involve finding these rare earth metals. It's a project that would allow you to display your numerous talents and could provide a lot of content.
Hey Cody! Good to see you! I guess the definitive answer would be in testing the fruit itself, ripe and green. Glad you got this video out to us!
It's amazing that the paper made it through the same process of dehydrating and charing process that the bananas did.
