Want to keep bananas fresh longer? We all buy bunches that seem to ripen too quickly, leading to waste.
Here's a proven, easy trick using cling film (plastic wrap) to extend freshness by 3-5 days.
To stop rapid ripening, wrap the bunch's stem tightly. Watch how:
1. Cut a piece of cling film about the size of your hand.
2. Wrap it tightly around the stem of the bunch.
3. Gently remove and rewrap each time you take a banana.
Your bananas will stay fresh several days longer. Simple, practical, and economical—no more tossing blackened fruit.
This works for separated bananas too: wrap each stem individually.
Bananas release gas as they ripen, causing them to blacken and rot quickly. The gas escapes from the stems, so cling film traps it and slows ripening.
