Bananas: Experts explain how to keep the fruit fresh<\/h3>\n

It is often assumed that the best way to store bananas is simply to put them in a fruit bowl somewhere in the kitchen, but you actually be making them and other fruit spoil much more quickly.<\/p>\n

Bananas release a gas called ethylene, a growth hormone, which will cause fruit to age and ripen much more quickly.<\/p>\n

How to keep bananas fresher for longer<\/h2>\n

Lora is a writer and mother who enjoys sharing her favourite household tips online in order to \u201cmake life easier and elevated at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a video online, Lora explained that wrapping the stems of bananas can stop ethylene gas emitting, keeping bananas and other fruit around them from spoiling.<\/p>\n

Some supermarkets already place tape on bananas when they are being purchased, and it will usually be a strip of plastic covering the top part of a bunch of bananas. Once wrapped, the ethylene gas will not be able to travel downwards and should keep bananas fresh.<\/p>\n

Lora said: \u201cHave you ever wondered what that tape was for? That little bit of tape serves a purpose. Go grab your plastic wrap, we\u2019re about to save a bunch.<\/p>\n

In order to try this method, Lora explained: \u201cSeparate your bananas and wrap each top with plastic. This slows down the release of ethylene gas which causes them to ripen faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other tips for keeping bananas fresh<\/h2>\n

If you purchase bananas that come in a plastic bag, make sure to always remove them from the bag, as it can cause ethylene gas to build up and speed up ripening.<\/p>\n

However, another way to stop bananas from ripening is spraying them with an acidic juice such as lemon lemon just, which will keep them yellow without affecting the taste.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC, this food storage method is implemented by Marks and Spencer as a way to keep their fruit salads fresh. Their research also discovered that Cavendish bananas are more likely to stay fresher for longer.<\/p>\n

Rose Wilkinson, a fruit technologist at Marks and Spencer., said: “We’ve spent years trying to overcome this so that we can include it in our prepared fruit salads and were delighted when we discovered a clever trick using fruit acid – just like you would at home with lemon juice.”<\/p>\n
