Silicone spray, coloured dye and injections: What farmers are doing to make stale veggies look fresh.
Next time you reach for the biggest, shiniest or freshest looking vegetable on the cart, think about what may have been added to it. The shocking revelations of a vegetable farmer just outside New Delhi show us the additives, injections and sprays used to make old vegetables look fresh. And according to him, he isn't the only one. All farmers do this, he says. With rising inflation and families to feed, he says poor farmers such as himself are left with no option when consumers reject even fresh, hygienic vegetables.

Silicone spray makes the vegetables look shiny and fresh, even when it's actually a few days old. Malachite green, a manufacturing dye, is added to green vegetables to make them look more vibrant, attractive and fresh. Oxytocin injections are pumped directly into vegetables like bottle gourd, making them swell in size overnight. What would otherwise have taken a week to mature, is now ready to be shipped to the market overnight.
This is like VICE but In Indian style…keep up the good and honest work!! 🙂
Keep up the good Work man what this Indians killing Indians this has be going to long there no Love Indian all Greedy.
you know vice is a propaganda channel.
Spraying fruits & veggies 2 shine & look fine is not new (of course, not good also). It has been going on in the U.S. for many years; relatively new in india & other countries. But in the U.S., they don’t camouflage stale greens & veggies – it could be lot of trouble down the road….
Raaj bhai hame kidhar jane ki jarurat nahi hai sara bharat hamare yaha aata hai
Shiva, i’m guessing that in desh too they are using food grade silicone spray along with colored wax polish which are not harmful to our system unless its consumed in large quantities for many years. In most western nations, they have been approved for use long ago. So, the title here, is of-course very dramatic!
That’s why i always wanted to have my own farm and live a healthy life peacefully.
You could start with a little garden. 12m^3 are enough for growing tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, onion, peppers, pumpkins, maybe a few herbs, ect. strawberries, well not all of them at once. It doesn’t take much effort a 2-3 day a year to seed them, and depending on the crop watering it once in a while, for tomatoes and cucumbers we do it once every two days.
in my country we have a small places like that (we call them kun-fu for some reason) for rental, so it’s you could check if this is an option for you too.
Manish sainwar me too. the city life is becoming too toxic. why work for high pay to buy toxic food to kill yourself. better relocate to farm life.
I want to do that too ! Next summer i might work my garden,but ITS really hard 🙁
the way farming is turned into loss business, we will not even have any lands of our own.
i suggest you to do ShivYog Farming.

This might explain why I got so sick when I went to India
I felt like smacking him across his face wen he said ‘there’s no harm in it’ like dude r u for real!!!!!!!
Sabbs X smack his mouth with a cucumber
WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
Seize their land and sell those farmers off into the organ markets. Perhaps then they can serve as an example and live on in the bodies othose whose organs they destroyed.
This is world wide not only India or Pakistan
Hicham Nad nope New Zealand and Australia don’t do this. Only corrupt Asian countries
I know America does the same people won’t buy food if they don’t look nice, for example oranges are not necessary orange but an American can’t process that so when they import them they pass by a chemical process to make them orange plus all the food modification that America is know for ( transgenic ) it’s the same but in less scale, this Indian people it’s DIY United States of America does it massively
brenda muñoz I am from Arizona and had many orange trees growing in my own yard. They are orange and delicious without any processing whatsoever, that is why they are called an “orange”. lol. I think people have overactive imaginations.
a little Mo I think u really don’t Kno how real oranges looks they have spots
itachi Theonlylegend It depends on what climate they are grown in. In Arizona it gets cooler in December when the oranges are ripe and the drop in temperature makes them turn orange. If they are grown in a steady warm climate they will stay green or maybe spotted, like you said. It is not done by chemicals, it happens naturally depending on the climate.
a little Mo still I never saw a no spot naturally grown orange.
I’m sure other countries do this too, even USA. they only care about their profits not your health. best way is to grow your own fruits and veggies.
Tampatec Ew how can you say that? The Western world has clean fresh food not corrupt like India where random sprays and chemicals are sprayed on the vegetables and vegetables are grown in sewers/sewer water ?????
Tampatec you’re an idiot, New Zealand snd Australia don’t do this, my country is better than yours
u. s. a mein market ch aun to pehla sab cheeza goverment test kardi a…. ude ni U.S.A world leader bneya
Bhai USA me agar milavat vala kaam kar bhi liya na toh gaand faad k hath me de dete hai liecense ban kr dete hai or fir sari zindgi koi bhi bussines nhi kr skta vo aadmi or jail alag se hoti hai bohot strict hai vaha k rule or chhoti chhoti cheeje jo health k liye thik nhi hoti vo bilkul bann hai balki aisi ghatiya cheeje india me bikti hai bohot
did no one see the 2 sec disclaimer? it says in the first sentence “this video is for entertainment purposes only”.
IT IS A FAKE VIDEO.
SatanRomps Can a ‘non-fake’ video not be for entertainment too?
They only added that to cover their asses from being sued. Like these Indians would have the money. There are pages and pages of articles on this. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/indian-minister-warns-of-fruit-and-veg-hormone-injections-2038189.html
SatanRomps I hope so!
Jacey Dade like these Indians would have money? Yea right it’s all been looted back then
Looted? If anyone is looting, it’s them.
gonna delete india from my traveling list
Yeah have your canned food there gaving tonnes of preservatives and get obese, diabetic, heart patient.
Mister M we don’t need chuts like you anyway.
Mister M …u should surely do that
dude…enjoy your killer big mac…and please ask them to leave India too…we will be grateful
I guess this kind of people are just everywhere not in india only. My country is experiencing the same problem sadly. Let’s just grow our own veggies from now on.
Isabella Corail i appreciate your idea but nit everyone has their iwn yard
Yeah bring this everywhere hypocrisy again but never admit the madness that goes around no matter what.
Yes you are right
Plz arrest this type people in India
The problem it’s in the earth if was only India it was going to be easy to fix.
Then we should arrest government
It’s really not their fault try to understand these under paid farmers
Harkamal malhi bro accutually government should give some allowance to farmers
govt ki koi galti nhi, jisko beimani ki adat lag jati hai woh jaati nahi, its easy to blame the system
I was planning a trip to India in March. I have now cancelled that trip to India after watching this video and the scams at the Indian train stations. It’s a shame that such a lovely country like India allows things like this to go on. Customers get sick from this poison and the farmer makes an extra dollar.
Mark Brown yes India has a lot of negatives but it is still worth visiting if u know wat is worth seeing here☺☺
mac zer u r right but friend no need to abuse her wid bad lingo, India has gems wch only d discerning know & understand?
Mark Brown avoid US of A and Europe too. They too have horsemeat scam and who knows what else is coming!
Oh please!!! Get it real. Every countries has its own drawbacks including scams of all sorts.
Mark Brown All Indian Farmer are not doing like him, come and get some best experience here, come to indian and visit indian villages and explore, you will find many Indian farmers are good, am not saying all.
It’s so depressing.
Anyone up for organic farming?
itna gussa aata h ye sab dekh kar
Alpha Tech bhai tu janta hai ki inka guzara kaise hota hai
inko ye sab karna padta hai
govt ko kuch karna chahiye in sab ke liye
tho kya naitikta khatam ho gayi logon me wahi sabzi unn logon ko bolo pakane sarkaar bhi logon se banti hai patharon se nahi ronne ke bajaye kuch karo
Incredible India..
