The Problem with Fruit Bowl Storage
Most people store bananas in a fruit bowl with other produce like apples, pears, or avocados. The problem?
Many fruits release ethylene gas, which speeds up banana ripening.
Bananas left in a pile also bruise easily, causing them to turn brown faster.
The Simple Solution: Store with Plastic Wrap
The secret item? Plastic wrap (cling film). Wrapping the banana stems slows down the release of ethylene gas, which is concentrated in the stem area.
