Bananas seem to turn brown overnight and the next day they are shriveled and rotten. Here are six tips to keep them fresh for longer.
Avoid Storing In Plastic Bags Bananas that are stored in plastic bags tend to ripen faster, so always take them out of those bags after purchasing.

When fruits ripen, they emit ethylene, a gas that speeds up the ripening process. This will make bananas ripen at a faster rate.

When your bananas are perfectly ripe, keep them in the fridge as the cold environment will prevent them from ripening any further.

Hanging the bananas keeps air ventilated and decreases the amount of ethylene they're exposed to. This reduces the pace of ripening.
