I have a love/hate relationship with bananas.... They're good to eat, fill me up, and are just full of fruity goodness.
However... they are fickle bastards! You only have about a 48 hour period where they are nice and soft and sweet, and not mushy.
Ideally, I'd like to eat more bananas, but I sort of stuck.
Is there a way to lengthen the life of a banana's "ideal" time on this earth?
Sometimes I'm stuck eating a whole bunch in a day (like today, for example), because I know they'll be gross by tomorrow!
Thanks for your help!
 
There are "green bags" which are suppose to lengthen the amount of time your veggies and fruit live.
There are also containers as well that keep them fresh longer.



As for fruits/veggies in the fridge, there is something called Extra Life Disk that you put next to them to keep them fresh too.

 
I haven't used the green bags for bananas, but they've worked well for me for lettuce & asparagus :)

Just remember what Chiquita banana says:
Bananas like the climate of the very very tropical equator
So never put bananas.... in your re-fri-ger-ator!
 
they never go in the fridge! but thanks.... I just remembered those banana hanger things... I wonder if they help? Have to look into that also.
 
I don't have that problem in my house.... I have 2 boys, 17 and 12.... I have more of a problem keeping food available to eat! When we get bananas, we have to buy 2 bunches a time, and they last about 3 days.
 
My mum always separated the bunch so none of them were touching--I've heard thats a good way to keep them fresh for longer.

Actually, that's completely the opposite. When you separate them they ripen faster, but that is a way for me to regulate how they ripen... I can separate 1/2 of them when I buy the bunch, so they should be ready sooner. Also it doesn't really matter if the skins touch or not, once you've spit the top they'll ripen faster. Thanks for the idea!
 
So....Monster. Your having trouble with your bananas. Have you lost any bananas lately.....Uh due to over-ripeness? LOL.
You can put bananas in the fridg. The skin will get black but the banana don't get any riper and stays fine on the inside. I have to do this living in AZ. or they will be over-ripe in 1 day. Try it.
