Refrigerate Ripe Bananas: The peel may darken, but the inside stays fresh longer.
Freeze Overripe Bananas: Perfect for baking or smoothies later.
Store Individually Wrapped: For single servings, wrap each stem separately.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Don’t store bananas in sealed plastic bags — they trap moisture and cause faster rotting.
Don’t keep bananas in the fridge before they’re ripe; cold temperatures disrupt ripening and may affect texture.
Avoid storing with apples or avocados if you want to slow ripening.
