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 wrap.
Store them away from other fruits at room temperature.
This method can extend freshness by up to 10 days compared to leaving bananas exposed in a fruit bowl.
