A few simple kitchen hacks can help you keep bananas fresh for longer. Let’s learn about four easy tips and tricks.

Bananas start turning black within a couple of days of buying them. Here are some tips to keep bananas fresh for a longer time at home. 
 

When buying the bananas, don’t buy the ones that are overly soft. If you brought them home in a plastic bag, remove them from the bag and keep them in a basket. 
 

After bringing the bananas home, cover the stem in a saran wrap. This small trick helps slow down the ripening process of bananas. 
 

Some fruits emit ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process. Therefore, it is best to avoid storing the bananas with other fruits. 
 

To prevent bananas from spoiling quickly, hang them on a hook to allow air circulation. You can also place them upside down in a bowl to ensure they are exposed to air.
