Banana Tip



Every week I purchase a big bunch of bananas. I have to make sure that the bunch is slightly green because they ripen almost overnight at my house. In fact, if not eaten within about 4 days they are beginning to turn brown.

I recently read a tip at Homesteading Today. The lady advised to separate your bananas as soon as you get home. They ripen quicker if left in a bunch. This actually worked for me! I purchased bananas last Thursday and the couple that are left have at least 3 or 4 days before they start to brown and get mushy! Quite a difference!

That's my tip for the day. Visit Tammy's Recipes for more fun.

Thanks for the tip!! I hate it when my bananas go bad so quick. I'll give this one a try.

I'm going to have to try this tip. It seems as though my bananas always get too ripe too fast. Thanks!
