How radioactive are bananas and other radioactive foods?

It is time to take a closer look at some foods that are often said to be radioactive: bananas and brazil nuts.
How active are they in reality? And why would they even be radioactive in the first place?
Can I find something way more active and still edible in a grocery store?
Let's find out!

[AsymptoteInverse]

"Don't let fire play with you" is some of the best and most sensible safety advice out there.

[OKobern]

"Not the worst meal I've cooked" LOL

[MagicGumable]

This is a nice cooking tutorial! 10/10

"Even when surrounded by bananas"
I'm glad I lived long enough to hear someone say that.

[amiralozse]

"if your nuts can be lit like a candle you may want to consider your diet"
why am I falling for your suggestions again and again - it did hurt a LOT!

[venrerafaltis]

Don´t eat mushrooms containing nuclear fission products, please... Damn, there goes the plan for todays dinner.

[wrecksandtech]

Ive watched lots of educational channels showcasing dangerous experiments. You are the only one that gives both a visual and auditory warning at the beginning. Thus educating people in the proper warning symbols. Keep up the good work.

"If your nuts can be lit like a candle, you may want to reconsider your diet." I think there may be more wrong than your diet.

[klliak]

Radioactive shrooms. I think i've seen a few in classic Super Mario Bros game...

[skootz]

"Local man lights his radioactive nuts on fire!"

[fireandcopper]

You're always told some foods are radioactive, or some rocks are too, but you're the only channel that puts the radiation into numbers I understand

[ShadowzGSD]

6:36 probably made me laugh more than it should have.

[raahimhadi]

"Dinner is served for the Geiger Counter" 🤣

[ItsMeChillTyme]

One of the most straight to the point channels on YouTube and at the same time engaging. Love your format mate!

[pulesjet]

Didn't know about the Florescence of the Banana skins.

[ethanblanke]

I love how when placed next to the uranium glass the Geiger counter starts beeping SOS. Nice little detail.

[LordCaledonFraszer]

"Don't eat mushrooms containing nuclear fission products. Please."

[birdroll]

Great now I need to test my mushrooms when I go picking them around chernobyl

[cringemaki]

Next time: "Let's measure the background radiation from bananas at the store"

5:16 "Not the worst meal i've cooked"
What was the worst ?!
