Brilio.net - Ripe bananas with black skin are often considered unfit for consumption, even though they actually have a sweet taste and soft texture. However, bananas in this condition usually cannot be stored for a long time because they rot quickly in a matter of days. The change in skin color to black indicates a further ripening process, which causes the banana to spoil more quickly .
This condition is caused by higher enzyme and microorganism activity in overripe bananas. Natural enzymes in the fruit continue to break down starch into sugar, making the banana sweeter, but also accelerating the decay process. In addition, the blackened skin often becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi that accelerate the deterioration of the fruit.
Therefore, many people immediately choose to consume or process ripe bananas. In fact, if there are still many, ripe bananas can be stored as stock. An Instagram user @mak_sae15 once revealed how to store ripe bananas whose skin has turned black. With the method used, these ripe bananas can remain solid and not soft for up to a week.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @mak_sae15 on Monday (11/11), the first thing to do is to make sure the banana is still in good condition. Even though the skin is black, the inside of the banana should still be good and there are no signs of rot. This is indicated by its texture which is still solid and not completely soft.

Next, peel the bananas one by one. Then throw away the skin. Now, put the peeled bananas in an airtight container. If necessary, you can line the bottom of the container with paper or kitchen tissue. Then after arranging the bananas, cover them with paper too to make them last longer.

If so, close the container until it is really tight. Then store it in the chiller or the bottom of the refrigerator. This method will inhibit the rotting process, so that the bananas last longer. Even after being stored for a week, the condition of the bananas is still good and not soft, you know.
