You will probably have seen how vendors keep their bananas hanging at fruit shops. It avoids bruising and lessens the possibility of exposing the banana flesh to oxygen, which would hasten the ripening process. Do the same at home by tying a thread to the stem of the bananas.
Separate the banana’s stem and wrap each one in a different type of plastic to prevent it from decaying. Remember that the banana is only wrapped in plastic at the stem end. Their ripening is slowed significantly as a result.
Additionally, vinegar can be used to delay banana rot. Fill a container with water and a few tablespoons of vinegar. The banana should now be dipped in it, removed, and hung. The bananas will last longer.
If you want to store bananas for several days, then keep the bananas in an airtight plastic bag and freeze them in the fridge. In this way you can store it for a month. Defrost it for half an hour before consumption.
To keep the bananas fresh for a long time, you should wrap aluminium foil over the banana. If you don’t have foil, wrap it over with some plastic or paper. By doing this, bananas can be saved from pilferage.
