Bananas are healthy and tasty fruits that can sometimes even replace dessert.

But sometimes you need the fruits to last as long as possible. You can extend their shelf life if you know some tricks.

If you want the fruit to last as long as possible without turning black, you should buy green fruit, which needs additional time to ripen.

Many fruits and vegetables emit ethylene, a harmful gas that causes nearby foods to quickly decompose.

Bananas are particularly sensitive to this element, which means they should be kept away from other foods.

It is better to choose a dry and cool place, but do not put the fruit in the refrigerator, otherwise the peel will quickly darken.

You can wrap the banana tails in cling film or foil.

This will help prevent the release of ethylene from the bananas and slow down the ripening process.

In this case, it is also acceptable to wrap each banana separately or the whole bunch in film or foil.
