store bananas in a fruit bowl with other produce like apples, pears, or avocados. The problem?
Many fruits release ethylene gas, which speeds up banana ripening.
Bananas left in a pile also bruise easily, causing them to turn brown faster.
The Simple Solution: Store with Plastic Wrap
The secret item? Plastic wrap (cling film). Wrapping the banana stems slows down
the release of ethylene gas, which is concentrated in the stem area.
How to Do It
Separate bananas or leave them in the bunch.
Wrap the stems tightly with plastic
