Episode Details

Bananas don’t have to turn brown in two days—here’s how to make them last longer. Amy Cross reveals that bananas ripen faster near other fruits due to ethylene gas, so keep them at least three feet away. Hanging them on a hook works best, and organic bananas stay fresher without chemical treatments. For peak freshness, grab greener bananas (especially organic) and open them from the opposite end of the stem. Seal the stem with plastic wrap to trap gas and slow ripening. Leftovers? Store cut pieces in a jar with peels or flash freeze overripe slices for smoothies or snacks. One listener even joked about monkeys doing it right—turns out, simple storage tricks can seriously extend your banana’s life.
