Bananas, like many other fruits, ripen very quickly once you buy them, and it quickly becomes difficult to eat them when they are ripe – but not too ripe. Banana produces a phytohormone as it ages: ethylene. It is he who encourages it to mature and take on this black color. Entrapment of the banana prevents ethylene from escaping and thus promotes its ripening. The more space you give the banana, the longer it will keep.
3 – NEVER PUT YOUR BANANAS IN THE FRIDGE
The first thing to know about storing your bananas properly is that you should never put them in a fridge. They should be stored at room temperature to prevent them from blackening.
2 – SEPARATE YOUR BANANAS
The second tip, if you don’t think you’ll finish all your bananas quickly enough, is to separate them from each other. In addition, after separating them, you must wrap their stems with cling film.
1 – HANG YOUR BANANAS
Finally, another tip which is probably the least known but the most effective for keeping them for a few more days is to hang them on a hook like this. This way, they will not touch the ground, which will slow down their rotting!
And There you go ! You have learned how to store your bananas properly! You won’t waste them anymore and you’ll throw less money down the drain.
