6 Tips To Keep Your Bananas From Turning Brown

Wrap the Stems Cover the banana stems with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This reduces the release of ethylene gas, slowing the ripening process.

Store at Room Temperature Keep bananas at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to maintain their natural ripening pace.

Separate Bananas Detach bananas from the bunch to minimize ethylene gas concentration, which causes faster browning.

Refrigerate Ripe Bananas Once ripe, place bananas in the refrigerator. The skins may darken, but the fruit inside will remain fresh longer.

Use Lemon Juice Apply a light coat of lemon or lime juice to peeled bananas to prevent oxidation and browning. This works well for fruit salads.

Store Away from Other Fruits Avoid storing bananas near ethylene-producing fruits like apples or avocados to slow their ripening and browning process.
