Ways to Make Your Bananas Last Longer

Hang your bananas

Bananas are more prone to bruising the longer they sit on the counter, so hanging them is a good way to keep them from becoming dinged up.

You may get a hook designed to hold bananas or a fruit basket with a hook already attached. Bananas ripening on a hook at room temperature may be done either way.

Buy green bananas

If perfectly ripe bananas are out of your price range, take a handful of unripe bananas and let them ripen on a hook in your kitchen.

You may buy bananas in bunches already wrapped in plastic, but if you want the best results, separate the bananas and wrap the stems separately.

Freeze your bananas

Bananas may be preserved in a variety of ways, but one of the simplest is to freeze them. The quality of the thawing process is highly dependent on how the bananas were frozen.

Freeze your bananas

The peels will discolor and melt badly if you freeze the whole lot. Peeled bananas or banana slices may be frozen in sealed containers for later use.

Buy a banana keeper

The Banana Keeper is a convenient way to ensure that each individual banana in your lunchbox is perfectly ripe (or for your afternoon snack).
