The best place to store bananas: they will stay fresh for up to two weeks

Banana is one of the most popular fruits that we often buy in stores. It is loved by both adults and children, and it is also very healthy and affordable.

The biggest problem is that these fruits often spoil before their time. If stored improperly, they soften and turn black. To keep bananas fresh for up to two weeks, you should use some tricks, OBOZ.UA writes.

Bananas emit ethylene gas, which accelerates ripening. But, according to experts, wrapping the stems in foil significantly slows down this process.

When the bananas are fully ripe, they should be immediately put in a cold place. This will stop them from ripening further - without affecting the quality of the fruit.

Although this method works wonders for ripe bananas, it is important to note that storing unripe bananas in the refrigerator can negatively affect their flavor and texture.

Thus, this trick should only be used when bananas have reached their peak ripeness.

It is worth remembering that the peel of bananas stored in the refrigerator may turn brown, but this does not mean that they lose their taste and all their other properties.
