My husband and I like them but we can never eat them fast enough, and I always end up tossing at least two of them. I do buy them while they're still a little green, and that helps. But are there other ways? Is it really worth it to get one of those banana hanger things?

Well, you should store it in a refrigerator.

Well bananas can't stay fresh for longer than 2 -3 days.But u can do the following.Try to purchase according to yor consumption(i mean u said u take 2 in a day). So half a dozen is enough.Also see that color is not so green(as u said little green is good).They should be more (mmmmm....i m not getting words.Sorry!) dark green n very soft.Second thing u can do is U can keep them in dry but not so dry n cold with a cloth covering it.Keep away from sunlight..This will definitely keep bananas fresh for atleast 3 days(Half a dozen).Thirdly there r other varieties in bananas like elaichi one's they r strong to remain fresh for atleast 4 days.Hope u get som help.Bye

I actually just got a Banana hanger and it really works they are lasting at least 2 days longer. I believe a brown bag actually ripens fruit faster. Also keep them in a cool area but I don't put them in the refrigerator.

Beside storing them in a brown paper bag, I suggest when you buy- buy some bananas yellow and some partly green, then when you want to eat them by that time they will be fully ripe. Many people like to make a banana cake with bananas that have become soft.

Leave them in a brown paper bag or hang them on a "banana hook" makes them think they're still on the tree.

im not sure how to keep them fresh but what i do is when they start going, peel them and cut them up an stick them in the freezer. then you can use them is banana milk shakes,smooties,banana bread.

I find that keeping them cool (not cold, never in the fridge) slows it down, but it is still tough to keep them cool
