The Problem:
Bananas turn brown too fast, and you end up throwing them away.
The Fix:
Wrap the stem end of the banana bunch tightly in plastic wrap. This slows down the release of ethylene gas, which makes them ripen quickly.
Why It Works:
- The stem is where most ethylene gas escapes.
- Plastic wrap blocks the gas, adding 3–5 extra days of freshness.
Extra Tip:
Once peeled, store banana slices in an airtight container with a lemon juice splash to prevent browning.
