Fruits can be kept in excellent condition for up to three to four weeks, if you take into account some nuances.

For example, storage temperature is important.

The ideal temperature is from 12 to 14 degrees Celsius.

If it is lower, the fruit will freeze and lose its taste.

If the temperature is higher, the bananas will overripen faster.

Suitable humidity is 60-80 percent.

You also need to wrap the stalks in foil or cling film.

Fruits should not be left in places exposed to direct sunlight. It is recommended to leave the products in a dark cupboard that is located far from the stove. A dark and cool pantry for storing bananas is also suitable.

Another rule is that it is important to choose the right "neighbors".

This means that the fruits need to be isolated from those fruits that emit ethylene.

However, this gas makes vegetables and fruits ripen faster, which means that the products cannot be stored for a long time.
