Do your bananas sometimes brown too quickly? With these tips you will slow down the ripening process and you will have longer to eat them!
Unless you put bananas in your smoothie or fruit salad, they don't mix well with other fruits. This is because fruit that ripens emits a lot of ethylene gas. This is one of the big culprits for bananas. This gas makes bananas ripen faster. So don't put your bananas on the fruit bowl anymore.

Sometimes you come across bananas in the store that have plastic around the stem. This also has to do with the ethyl gas. The gas is released through the stem of the banana. Wrapping foil around the stem will slow the release of gas and the maturing process. For best results, wrap each banana separately with foil.
Cooler temperatures also slow down the ripening process. Once your bananas are ripe the way you want them to, put them in the fridge. This way they will keep their taste and structure better.
Just like with apples, adding lemon juice can keep a banana fresh for longer. A lemon slows down the oxidation process. Do you think the lemon juice is too sour? Then dilute it with water.
Vinegar is an alternative to lemon. Dilute vinegar with some water and sprinkle it over the bananas. Many large companies that deliver meal boxes also use this trick. Rinse your bananas before eating them.
Cut your banana into pieces and store them in a sealed bag or container. Your frozen banana will keep for about 30 days. Frozen banana pieces are also perfect for a cold smoothie!
