How to store bananas so they last longer.
There are several ways you can try to store bananas so they last longer:
Bananas can be stored at regular room temperature, but they are much better if stored in a cool, dry place, such as a fruit rack or refrigerator. Avoid storing bananas near heat sources or direct sunlight.
Leave the banana connected to the stem. This helps slow the ripening process.
Wrap the banana stems in saran paper or plastic cling wrap. This helps reduce the rate of ripening by slowing the release of ethylene gas, which accelerates fruit ripening.
If possible, separate bananas from other fruit that releases ethylene gas, such as apples or tomatoes. This gas can speed up banana ripening.
If you want to extend the shelf life of bananas, choose bananas that are not fully ripe. Bananas that are still green will need more time to fully ripen.
By following the tips above, you can help extend the shelf life of your bananas and enjoy them for longer.
