To keep bananas fresh and yellow for 15 days or longer, you can use a couple of effective methods.
One popular technique involves wrapping the stems of the bananas with cling film. This method slows down the release of ethylene gas, which is responsible for ripening, helping the bananas stay fresh for up to five days longer than usual.
However, a newer method that has gained attention is immersing the stalk end of the bananas in water.
This technique reportedly allows bananas to last between 10 to 14 days. By submerging the stems, the ripening process is significantly slowed
As demonstrated in tests where bananas stored this way remained firm and intact, while those left out became mushy and overripe.
Both methods are simple and can help you reduce waste and enjoy your bananas for an extended period.
Whether you choose to wrap the stems or use the water method, these clever hacks can make a noticeable difference in the longevity of your bananas.
