Bananas Last 10 Days Longer When Stored with One Kitchen Item Instead of in a Fruit Bowl

The secret item? Plastic wrap (cling film). Wrapping the banana stems slows down the release of ethylene gas, which is concentrated in the stem area.

 

 

How to Do It

 

Separate bananas or leave them in the bunch.

 

Wrap the stems tightly with plastic wrap.

 

Store them away from other fruits at room temperature.

 

This method can extend freshness by up to 10 days
