– Cool, Dry Storage – Keep bananas in a cool, dry place to prevent premature ripening and extend their freshness. –
– Separate from Other Fruits – Bananas release ethylene gas, so store them away from other fruits to prevent accelerated ripening. –
– Use Plastic Wrap – Wrap the banana stems in plastic wrap to slow down the release of ethylene gas and delay browning. –
– Refrigerate After Ripening – Once ripe, place bananas in the fridge; the peel may darken, but the fruit inside stays fresh longer. –
– Hang Bananas – Hanging bananas on a banana hook helps prevent bruising and slows down the ripening process. –
– Store Unpeeled Bananas – Always store bananas with their peel on to maintain freshness and prevent the fruit from turning brown. –
– Seal in a Produce Bag – Use a breathable produce bag to maintain moisture levels and prevent bananas from drying out too quickly. –
