How to Store Bananas to Keep Them from Turning Black: They'll Last for 10 Days
If you, like many other housewives, are tired of throwing away blackened bananas, try using the following life hack.
To keep fruit from spoiling for as long as possible, you should follow just 2 rules.
1. Do not store the fruit in a bag - bananas need air, otherwise they will turn black the next day.
This is why you need to store fruits in a well-ventilated area, for example, on a loggia.
2. Blackening occurs because bananas begin to lose moisture.
This happens exactly where the fruit was torn from the palm tree. That is why the stalk should be covered.
Materials such as foil, cling film, or even simple tape are suitable for this purpose.
So, all you need to do to keep your bananas yellow for longer is to wrap the stem.
Finally, let us remind you: do not store bananas in the refrigerator or, conversely, at excessively high temperatures. The optimal values are between +13 and +15 degrees.
