How to store green bananas so they become ripe?

You can put green bananas in a cardboard box or plastic bag, add 2-3 ripe apples, and seal them together. At room temperature, the bananas will be ripened in two or three days. If the bananas are not ripe after two or three days, you can continue to seal them for a few more days until the skin of the bananas turns yellow, which means they are ripe, and then you can take them out and eat them.

How to tell if banana flesh is bad

The skin of a normal banana is yellow and will not turn black or crack. At this time, the banana flesh is generally normal. When a banana goes bad, it usually has a rotten smell and the skin is black. The flesh of a bad banana may also turn black.

It is recommended to store bananas in a cool and ventilated place, generally for about 3 to 5 days, or wrap the root of the banana with plastic wrap to slow down the ripening process of the banana.

How long can bananas be kept?

If ripe bananas are kept at room temperature, they can generally be stored for five days, and during the storage process, small black spots will appear on the surface of the bananas. Unripe bananas can be stored for half a month at room temperature.

When storing bananas, wipe the purchased bananas with a wet towel to clean the ripening agent on the surface, or wrap the banana roots tightly with plastic wrap and place them in a dry and cool environment.

Please note that when eating bananas, you should not eat cold fruits such as pitaya and cantaloupe, so as not to irritate the stomach and intestines and cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. Also, bananas and vegetables with high dietary fiber such as sweet potatoes should not be eaten together, otherwise it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and cause bloating.
