How to stop bananas ripening - for more than a week
- I did an hour of research to discover this, and it works.
- Peel them and keep them in a container in the fridge (not the freezer).
- Try to minimize pressure of bananas on the container or each other (see picture, it bruises them)
- Apparently ripening is caused by the skin and stem.
- Today I enjoyed another banana bought a week ago, still as it was then.
- This means we can buy 'ready' bananas, or even 'starting to speckle', and not have to visit the supermarket so often (saves fuel and carbon, you don't impulse-spend on other things while there, also wasting money, overeating).
- It also means no-more unhealthy 'have to eat that banana because it's going off' when you don't want to.
