WHY HANG BANANAS?

Why hang your bananas? It prevents bruising and it also decreases the chance of exposing the banana flesh to oxygen, which will only makes it ripen that much faster.



You may have noticed that some bunches in the store come with their crown wrapped in plastic wrap. Keep it on. Or add plastic wrap at home, if you have to.— much of the ethylene gas that increases the rate at which bananas ripen is released at the top of the bunch. "Wrapping slows down the gas," "For even better results, pull the bananas apart and wrap each top separately."


Cooler temperatures also slow down the chemical ripening process. Once bananas are ripe to your likening, store them in the fridge. It's OK if the peel turns brown, or even black. This color change comes from pigment in the peel. It doesn't impact the fruit inside which should still have a good flavor and texture.


As with apple slices, adding lemon or lime juice to peeled bananas can help preserve their freshness. Basically, the citrus slows down the oxidation process. You can also use lime orange juice or pineapple juice. If you've already sliced the banana, toss it with a teaspoon or two of citrus juice. If the banana is still whole or just halved, you can brush it with the juice. Feel free to dilute the juice with water if needed. Adding citrus will slightly affect the banana's flavor, making it a little tart.
