don't put bananas in the fridge - they will go black even more quickly.
when i was a kid we used to grow bananas. the fruit bats would eat them if yu left them on the trees, so my dad would cut these huge bunches and hang them under the house - it was a typical queenslander house, elevated on stumps so there was a large area underneath. the bid bunch of bananas would slowly ripen from the bottom up in a spiral. they were sooooo good!
in those days they used to pick bananas early and then use carbide to force them to ripen. acetylene from the carbide made them ripen. bananas give off ripening gasses which not only ripen bananas but other fruit too. want to ripen another piece of fruit? put it with the bananas...
so - keep your bananas in a cool (not cold) airly place. do not leave them in the bag.
that said, i also find banana here ripen way too quickly. they are also not very tasty. i love the bananas in india! |
that's a cool story... |
