What is the best way to keep fresh bananas from turning brown so quickly?

Question

I have bought them green, hung them from banana trees, and kept them separated form other fruit, and they still turn brown rather quickly. Any suggestions or ideas.

Answer 1

keep them in a plastic bag

Answer 2

you can't it's a golden rule that bananas turn brown within a few days. you can try buying them super super green and going to the store a couple times a week instead of one huge shop once a week.

Answer 3

Keep them out of sunlight, and cool, i.e. away from major appliances. Keep them away from other fruits that produce gases that hasten ripening. Hanging them from a hook prevents soft spots from forming where they touch a container. Never put them in the refrigerator; that would turn them brown in hours.

Answer 4

I usually go shopping every 3 days so, I buy 3 Bananas ...one almost green, the other almost ready to eat, and the other one ripe. It works for me.

Answer 5

Dont store them with other fruits in a bowl it makes them ripe much faster.

Answer 6

You can keep good ventilation, cool, dry area... and don't keep them down, just hang them in rope.

My mother use to put something in its top.. i really forgot.

Also, don't separate them, keep as a bunch...

Answer 7

eat them..but what ever you do..do not freeze them! they turn brown faster that way. best thing to do..put them in a paper bag with a few oranges..they'll last longer.

Answer 8

buy small quantities and eat the bananas buy soon after buying them.

Answer 9

Putting them in the Fridge helps.

Answer 10

buy them while they're green, and if you want you could boil them and have them with your meal , or you can frie them and put a little salt on them mmmm
