Storing bananas? Why is it so difficult? We go to the grocery store and purchase bananas and by the time we get around to eating them, they are brown and mushy. We are often asked the question, can you put bananas in the fridge. If you keep bananas in the refrigerator, the outside of the banana will turn brown very quickly. However, the inside of the banana ripening process will tend to slow down. We conducted several experiments trying to figure out how to keep bananas from turning brown, and we can tell you without a doubt, storing bananas in a refrigerator will cause them to turn brown quicker and is not the best place to store bananas. Well then you are probably asking the question, how do you keep bananas from turning brown? Well before we answer that question let's talk about what causes bananas to ripen in the first place. You may not know this but lots of banana distribution centers and large banana retailers, have an area in their warehouse or store where they keep bananas so that they can capture the ethylene gas that comes off the bananas. Also they want to capture the ethylene gas that is all around the bananas from other sources. When we started working on this RUclips video trying to figure out how to store bananas, we search for ways on how to keep bananas fresh. We discovered the same thing that the major retailers and banana distributors have already discovered. And that is the fact that you must control ethylene gas, if you want it keep bananas from turning brown too quickly. We invite you to watch our RUclips video, how to store bananas, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section
Here's Some Banana Trivia
Did you know that bananas float in water? Well the fact is bananas float in water just like apples and watermelons. Are bananas grown in the United States? The only state with a climate suited for growing bananas today is Hawaii. Bananas used to be grown in California and Florida. The bananas that most Americans eat come from Latin America, South America, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, and Guatemala. The type of banana that most Americans eat is called the Cavendish banana. There is a banana Museum just south of Palm Springs, California, where you will find thousands of banana related items.

where did you get that bowl at ?@@KitchenTipsOnline
One thing I would like to note is that most consumers buy more bananas than they normally consume resulting in waste. The supermarket bunches bananas for convenience, and truthfully, to get you to buy more bananas therefore moving product and increasing sales. You are under no obligation to buy an entire bunch of bananas. Bananas, like a lot of produce, is sold by weight. You can go into the store and pull off one banana for purchase. So next time if you want just four bananas, buy only four bananas.
You've hit the nail on the head - bananas can be a tricky fruit to handle when it comes to waste. It's like a fine balance between buying enough to enjoy without letting them turn into a science experiment. I appreciate you bringing up the point that bananas are sold by weight and that folks are not obligated to purchase more than they need. That having been said, the information in the video will come in handy for people who cannot get to the store that often or who are inclined to buy from wholesale clubs. I appreciate your input, Mike 🧔
Target sells one banana.
I live in Hawaii, as Banana’s turn Brown they get sweeter and sweeter. Brown Banana’s make the very Best Banana Bread !
I love banana bread Janie, and I like to put some walnuts in there. Thanks for your feedback, Mike 🙂
@@vijaysura2874 You can buy banana bread in the uk from several places, even sainsburys do one. Or better still make your own then you know what is in it.
I was just looking at my bananas earlier and worrying about them going bad. They ALWAYS go bad faster than we can eat them. I'm not a big baker (I've never made banana bread, & probably never will!) I stumbled across your video, and you MADE MY DAY! Thank you SO MUCH! I hate wasting food & money, so this will help very much. I'm subscribing & ordering. 😁

@@KitchenTipsOnline muy agradecida por estos trucos
I never buy more than 3-4 bananas at a time. I don't think there's a food that has a shorter shelf life than bananas. Only about 2-3 days where they're the right kind of yellow to where you can eat them. I'm not really interested in ways in making them last longer, I just buy fewer of them more often.
I only buy 2 at a time.

I have been keeping bananas in my refrigerator in one of the vegetable drawers for a long time and it works. And I also discovered pealing from the bottom takes care of the strings.
Nancy, are you suggesting that bananas keep 15 or 20 days in your refrigerator like the method demonstrated in the refrigerator? Mike 🙂
My pots/pan/SS toaster oven all look brand new thanks to you! AND IT WAS SO EASY!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback, Mike 🙂
Well, mom always called them banana strings just like you did. I live in Costa Rica and I control the gas by separating the bananas. literally keeping each one maybe a yard away from each other. And you can take a tiny piece of plastic wrap and wrap around the topmost area of the banana which helps keep the gas from ripening it's brothers. If that doesn't work try getting a 7-year-old. Mine eats them before they can go bad.
Keeping bananas apart to control their ripening is a fantastic tip, thanks for sharing! Personally, I haven't had much success with wrapping the banana ends to slow down ripening, which is why I came up with the method I mentioned in the video many years ago. Mike
My mom said the strings were the fiber we need. 😊
I see two things here, the dark bananas = super moist banana cake/bread/muffins and then the yellow bananas = a great snack/banana split. Love me some bananas!!! Love this video, definitely a great idea. we hang ours from a tree on the counter to prevent bruising but that doesn't of course stop the aging/browning. I may have to look and see if I can find a suitable container to place the banana tree WITH the bananas hanging on it, within the sealed container, to slow aging and bruising. Best of both worlds. If it fails, there's always great tasting baked banana products from the blackened ones...yum either way! Thanks for the great video.
This will save us a lot of money on wasted bananas Thanks. 👍
Freeze them, they last much longer and are a great-frozen treat.
Great tip, thanks! Freezing bananas is a great way to keep them fresh. When you freeze bananas, the ethylene gas that causes them to ripen is slowed down, so they will stay good for several weeks. Frozen bananas are also a great way to make smoothies, banana bread, and other baked goods. To freeze bananas, simply peel them and slice them into rounds or chunks. Place the bananas in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to use the bananas, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Enjoy! Mike 🧔
Here are some additional tips for freezing bananas:
If you're freezing bananas for smoothies, you can slice them up and freeze them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Once they're frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer bag or container. This will help prevent the bananas from sticking together.
You can also freeze bananas whole. To do this, simply peel the bananas and place them in a freezer bag or container. Be sure to label the bag or container with the date so you know how long the bananas have been frozen.
Frozen bananas can be used in a variety of recipes. They're a great addition to smoothies, banana bread, muffins, and pancakes. You can also use them to make ice cream or sorbet.
The strings inside the banana peel are called phloem bundles, which are what make up the vascular system in the fruit, delivering nutrients to the bananas. Another little tidbit that may be interesting to some folks is that the peel of the banana is edible and packed with nutrients. For me, I will stick to what lies beneath the skin, as they are not very pleasing to the pallet. In closing I would like to say thank you for your "Kitchen Tips" and as a new subscriber, I look forward to more videos in the future.
Thanks for your information Steven. The peel of the banana may in fact be loaded with nutrients but like you, I am going to stick to the fruit on the inside, Mike ☺
@@KitchenTipsOnline .
peals make a great addition to the compost bin.
Thank you so much Mike! The information you shared is very helpful.

MJs ButterflyGirl, welcome aboard, thank you so much for the thumbs up! I appreciate the feedback, Mike ☺
thanks for the info about storing bananas for a long time I've been having a use of bananas a lot recently especially to make smoothies.
Glad it was helpful! Mike 🧔
The "stringy bits" are "phloem bundles" and are very nutritious. I've heard them called many things, mostly stuff you wouldn't say in mixed company since some of the men might find such talk objectionable.
BTW, since I already knew the ethylene gas thing, I was still taught something new! You mentioned that bananas ripening on the counter could be refrigerated. I had always been told this would just speed up the browning and ruin the fruit. It's just the husk (or skin) that continues to brown! Thank you!
Don, thanks for your feedback and information, Mike 🙂
I put mine in the fridge and I have found that even when the skin turns brown, the bananas are sometimes still perfect with no soft spots. I will try your way with mine.
How long can you keep them in the fridge before they spoil?
@@joyandpeacefullaughter5307 I am not sure. It adds a few days longer to the life of a fresh banana than leaving it on the counter. When I was in college, I saw brown bananas in the fridge and then I saw someone take one and it was perfect on the inside. I ate one and there wasn't any bruising and it shocked me because I would have thrown it out without checking.
I'll definitely try this.....I also take a little press and seal plastic wrap and wrap the top stem of the banana bunch and that also slows down the ripening process!
Excellent tip on sealing the tip of the banana. I suspect that's where the ethylene gas escapes from the banana most of the time, Mike 🧓
I just separate the bananas and place them in the same bowl as my lemons. Works very well too
Interesting. Incidentally what I do is tie a tight plastic around the top of the bunch of bananas to ensure the ethylene gas doesn't cause the bananas to ripen too fast. I have found that to be a good remedy too. The ethylene gas comes out from the top of the banana, hence the idea would be to ensure to tie it real tight.
Thanks for your feedback. We tried the plastic around the top of the bananas and it didn't seem to work. In the end, what worked best was what we demonstrated in the video, Mike 🧓
@@KitchenTipsOnline We use the plastic and it works great! East. Peasy. And, costs nothing!
From Michigan now live in Florida I do notice the difference even though I keep my home cool enough. I often have to put them in the fridge after buying them green.
Such a grand ideas. Thanks for the infos!!

Wild macque monkeys in Indonesia peel bananas from the bottom, not from the stem.
You're absolutely right, and I appreciate your comment. Peeling a banana from the bottom, akin to how monkeys do it in Indonesia, is commonly known as the 'monkey method'. Mike 🧔

I’d prefer that he skipped all the other stuff and get to the Amazon commercial
Wow! Thanks for posting this!! Maybe this will keep me from wasting bananas. I buy several at different ripening stages, after being at home they all ripen quickly to the same ripeness. It's so frustrating. Oh, I peel from the bottom, so much easier. but at times I still get the thicker strands of whatever that is.
Hey Macy! I'm really glad you found the video helpful. Dealing with bananas ripening quickly can definitely be frustrating. Using the method demonstrated in the video keeps the bananas from ripening but sometimes you may want to ripen one or two fast. I made a video on how to ripen bananas fast that you may want to check out. I'll include the link. Thanks for your feedback, Mike 🧔 How To Ripen Bananas Fast: ruclips.net/video/yGXP6kYSnAA/видео.html

Nice project for science class to understand ethylene gas. Never dawned on me how bananas stay fresh picked while in transit from Central America to the Canadian grocery store. I cannot foresee ever really needing to practice this in our kitchen simple because they are eaten so rapidly, and, should any actually remain after a couple days, well the grandkids love banana bread.
Mark 1962, haha thanks for your feedback! I have the same issue because my grandkids will never let bananas go beyond two or three days. Mike ☺

Kitchen Tips Online bananas turn brown
The strings are called phloem bundles and are just as nutritious as the rest of the fruits.
Wow. Thank you for the name of those little string bundles on the bananas the man of the video did ask if anyone knows what they're called and you certainly delivered with the name of the strings.
@@williardbillmore5713 yes agreed I definitely eat those little strings on the bananas... also they are nutritious so it's worth it. Thank you.
***Hey...The difference in nutritional value between eating the bundles is not enough of a benefit to having to deal with EATING STRINGS!***
Banana strings nameThe strings are called Phloem Bundles (pronounced flom). They are part of the system that carries nutrition to all parts of the banana. Michael Thogersen.
Cool beans, thank you very much I always wondered what those things were called. They can be pretty annoying, haha, Mike

Wheel chair Mamma Prepper you saved me explaining. Thanks. Also just sent a reply pointing out that when spotty,that's at best nutrition.xxx

And if you'll watch monkeys eat bananas, they eat peel them from the bottom so they don't have to deal with the strings.
So glad to learn there's a way to do this! My mother is also asking me to buy her banana, but winds up not eating them very often! And, being a good daughter, I like to buy her the organic. So I can't wait to try this!

Those strings in between the fruit and skin is rich in fiber, B6 and B12. Called the Phloem I think and they're kind of like veins that carry the nutrients to the fruit.
There's the mineral manganese and possibly more, don't know.
I've been washing each banana then cutting the ends off and chopping them to size for the blender. Puree with a peach or two topping it with iced strawberries.

Bob, I appreciate your feedback but perhaps since you are not a RUclips creator there may be a couple of things you are not familiar with. The most important thing is that if I had made a 1-2 minute video you would have never seen it. And that's because RUclips ranks videos based on how long people watch them. By taking the time to demonstrate day by day how the process worked, I accomplished two things, visual proof that the process actually does work and communicating effectively with the RUclips algorithm.

My pet peeve is how fast they ripen!! I don’t like them at all once any brown appears I don’t know why I am so picky but don’t like the flavor change or texture change. Thanks sooo much!!
When you get them home cut them to be individual bananas. This will give you 2 or 3 extra days.

Carolyn Olinger, you're welcome ☺
Great job. Sometimes I wonder why there is so much food waste in our country when they are solutions to extending the Shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Take the example of some supermarkets they rather charge 79 cents a pound for basic bananas and dump half of their rotten bananas after 7 to 10 days on the shelf instead of charging 59 cent a pound on day 1, 49 cent a pound on day 3 and 3 pounds for a dollar on day 5 or 7. Here is a tip for grocery stores and supermarkets start selling banana smoothies for the bananas that are10 days old on the shelf.
The strings in a banana are called Phloam. They are tubules that transport nutrients inside the peel
Thanks 🧔
Praying for your dad’s speedy recovery.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say? Is there something wrong with your father? Mike 🧔
The stringy bits are known as phloem (pronounced flom). They act as veins to bring nutrients to the fruit, and if you don't like them, peel your banana from the bottom up and apparently you won't get them!
Phloem has a very important function when it comes to the growth of plants.
Harking back to school biology days, you may remember that plants have two different types of transport tissue.
Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant, giving the banana its flavour and nutrients. Hope this helps - Derek.
Thank you very much for taking time to share the info about banana strings, Mike 🙂
The stringy things on the bananas are called "cling ons" at our house .😁
Wayne Zimmerman, haha, I love it! That is in fact what they are. Thanks for your feedback, Mike ☺
Wayne Zimmerman, What's the difference between the Starship Enterprise & toilet paper? Nothing! They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback, Mike
Thank you for saving me money, time and aggravation. I'm single and depressed when my air tight containers of various delicate lettuces quickly goes bad. As a result I find that I eat many fewer greens than when I had a family to eat it up quickly. You are in fact immediately going to increase my good health.
If your leafy salad ingredients are going soggy in the containers put some kitchen roll in the tub, it absorbs the damp and keeps them fresh longer.
great video - full of good info!! thanks!
