Cover the stems with foil or plastic wrap to slow down ethylene gas release. This will delay ripening and keep the bananas fresh for longer.

Use a banana hanger or hook to reduce bruising. Hanging reduces pressure on bananas and helps them stay yellow and unbruised.

Don't keep bananas in a bunch. Separate them to reduce the speed of ripening caused by ethylene gas build-up when stored together in bulk.

Avoid storing bananas near apples or avocados. These fruits emit gases that accelerate the ripening of the bananas. Store them solo.

Once the bananas are perfectly ripe, store them in the fridge. The skin may darken, but the inside stays fresh and firm for a long.
