Few people like dark bananas, and black fruits are most often thrown in the trash.
It happens that yellow and beautiful bananas become covered with unsightly spots overnight.
Let's find out if there is any way to extend their shelf life?
Why do bananas turn brown?
The reason is ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening process of not only bananas and not only fruits.
Ethylene is actively released by bananas. Due to the destruction of chlorophyll under its influence, banana peels turn brown or black.
Therefore, you should not store bananas next to apples and pears, which are also a source of this gas.
How to Preserve Bananas
First of all, you should not put bananas in the refrigerator. This is contraindicated as well as storing bananas in a warm and humid environment.
Secondly, do not store bananas together with other vegetables and fruits – put them in a dry and cool place.
The best place to store it is a kitchen cabinet.
Thirdly, you can slow down the release of ethylene by wrapping the base of the banana bunch in cling film.
