some foods have a fascinating ability to
0:02
Glow under UV light or even emit a
0:04
natural bioluminescent glow this effect
0:07
is often due to certain vitamins
0:09
proteins or minerals that react to
0:11
ultraviolet UV light here are 10 foods
0:14
that glow in the dark or under black
0:18
light one tonic water tonic water
0:22
contains quinine a compound that glows
0:25
bright blue under UV light this effect
0:28
makes it a popular choice for glowing
0:30
drinks at parties and special
0:33
events two
0:35
honey pure honey can glow under UV light
0:38
due to the presence of natural

0:43
types of Honey emit a greenish or bluish
0:45
glow depending on their Floral
0:49
Source three banana peels as bananas
0:53
ripen their peels develop fluorescent
0:55
compounds that glow blue under UV light
0:58
this glow is more prominent in overy
1:00
bananas four vitamin B12 crushed vitamin
1:04
B12 tablets or B12 Rich liquids can glow
1:08
bright yellow under UV light this is
1:10
because B12 contains fluorescent
1:12
molecules that react with
1:16
light five egg
1:18
whites raw egg whites contain proteins
1:21
that can glow under black light the glow
1:23
is usually a faint bluish green due to
1:26
the way proteins react to UV exposure
1:30
six
1:32

2:40
but also great for fun science
