Apart from iron and calcium, bananas rich in vitamins A and B are recommended to be eaten daily. But due to ethylene gas, the color of bananas first turns brown and then black. In such a situation, we think what is the point of buying them?

Although blackened bananas can be used in many ways, you bring them to eat as a healthy fruit. In such a situation, we are telling you 6 such ways, by which you will be able to taste fresh and tasty bananas for a long time:

Remove them from the plastic bag as soon as you bring them.

Bananas are often packed in polythene, but as soon as you reach home, the first thing you have to do is remove their pack. If these bananas are left in the bag, then their ripening speed increases, because ethylene gas gets collected in that bag itself.

Keep them hanging
Keep the bunch of bananas hanging somewhere. This will prevent them from hitting the surface, due to which brown spots will not appear on them.

Wrap plastic around the ends.

Ethylene gas comes out from the stem or upper end of the bananas, where the bunches of bananas are joined together. Wrapping that part with plastic slows down the ripening of bananas.

Protect them from sunlight and heat.
Bananas start ripening fast due to direct sunlight and heat. Always keep bananas in a cool, dark place.

Keep them away from other fruits and vegetables.
Banana is not the only fruit that releases ethylene gas when it ripens. Apple, pear, potato, and avocado are also some fruits and vegetables that release ethylene gas. You should keep bananas away from these too.

Store bananas like this after they ripen
It is not right to store them in the fridge until they ripen, but after they ripen, they cannot be kept outside. Keeping bananas in the fridge after ripening does not spoil them for one to two weeks.
