How to prevent bananas from turning black and rotting: a brilliant trick

The banana is a tropical fruit that is very common worldwide and can be found in any country. To keep bananas fresh for a longer time, they should be stored at room temperature and away from moisture.

However, there are situations when you just bought the fruit, and the next day it starts to turn black and deteriorate. OBOZREVATEL shares a life hack that will help you avoid the blackening and rotting of the fruit.

When bananas ripen, their stems emit ethylene gas. This gas can spread to the rest of the fruit and cause rotting and black spots on the peel.

To keep bananas fresh for as long as possible, you need to wrap a plastic bag around the stems. This will help prevent gas from spreading throughout the fruit.

Other exotic fruits can also spoil quickly if they are not stored properly. Low temperatures cause the fruit to rot and produce very harmful gases. It is better to wrap the fruit in paper and store it at room temperature.

Apples and pears in the refrigerator also begin to emit ethylene. This contributes to the rapid spoilage of even those products that are nearby.
