Jamie Spector – Can I get some Saran WrapTM please? Who knew that there was a way to prevent bananas from going bad so quickly? By wrapping the stems of bananas in plastic – and preventing the release of ethylene- you can keep your bananas edible for 3-5 days longer.
Talk about frustrating…I buy bananas at the grocery store to eat with lunch for the week. By the time Thursday rolls around the bananas are starting to get brown and mushy. Just this morning I threw out a couple of bananas because they looked pretty gross. Well, now we know how to stop that! Apparently, just wrapping the stem of the bananas will give us extra time to enjoy our yummy fruit.
According to Lifehacker, “Bananas, like many fruits, release ethylene gas naturally, which controls enzymatic browning and ripening of not just itself, but other fruits nearby.” So the message is, wrap up your banana stems, or at the very least, keep your other fruit away to increase its shelf life.
