Easy storage tip can keep bananas ripe and yellow for up to 10 days
19.01.2024 - 20:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Experts have shared their top storage tip on how to keep your bananas yellow and ripe for up to 10 days after purchase.
Bananas have a short shelf life of approximately two to three days if you buy them when they are already ripe, reports the Express. If you grab a pack when the bananas are still green, they may last a few extra days, but may not ripen properly.
Banana skin can also bruise easily, which can damage the fruit inside as well as reduce its shelf-life. In order to help out, a group of experts have shared some ways to keep your bananas fresh for up to 10 days.
According to Kate Hall, food expert and founder of The Full Freezer, storing your fruit in the fridge can help extend their use-by date by up to 10 days.
Once the bananas have reached the desired colour, simply pop them in the fridge away from other fruit items. Kate added: "If bananas are past the point of us wanting to eat them, you can peel them and then freeze them."
Sarah Bridenstine, professional baker and chef, said bananas have their own "quirky storage needs" which should be followed.
She said: "To speed up the ripening of green bananas, bag them up. The gases they emit will work their magic. Once they’re perfectly cool, keep them cool to slow down over-ripening. Fridge them once they’re ripe to halt the blackening.
"The insides will still be sweet. Bananas release crazy amounts of gas that can prematurely ripen nearby fruit so store them separately. If you have overripe bananas, you have a baking jackpot. You can make bread, smoothies or even sugar, don’t toss them."
Other fruits that have a short shelf life include blueberries and strawberries, so they need to be kept in a proper container with good ventilation to stop trapping moisture.
