The unexpected place in the kitchen where bananas are best stored is revealed: they won't spoil for up to 2 weeks
Bananas are one of the most popular types of fruit. They are a great substitute for breakfast, serve as a snack, and are also used to make a variety of desserts.
However, it is impossible to buy them in large quantities, as they can turn black and spoil within a few days. Rachel Sherwood, the chef and founder of Impressions At Home, told Express where is the best place to store bananas to keep them fresh for two weeks.
Bananas produce the highest amount of ethylene gas of any fruit. That is why they are the first to spoil. They should never be stored with other ethylene-sensitive fruits such as apples, avocados, melons, peaches, and plums. According to Rachel, bananas are best stored in the refrigerator because it slows down the production of ethylene gas.
There is a belief that storing bananas in the cold causes the peel to blacken quickly. And it is true. But only in the refrigerator under the blackened peel will the fruit remain fresh. If you store bananas on the kitchen table, they will turn black a little later, but the fruit itself will also be spoiled. The expert says that you shouldn't pay attention to a discolored banana peel if the fruit is stored in the refrigerator.
