STORAGE HACK THAT MAKES BANANAS LAST LONGER - AND DOES NOT INVOLVE PLASTIC
Bananas tend to go brown faster than other fruits like apples, grapes, or oranges.
Luckily, there are different methods out there to keep your bananas fresh until you're ready to use them.
Hanging bananas from a hook can slow down the ripening process due to ethylene gas release. This method also prevents bruising on the counter as the bananas continue to ripen.
You can use a fruit basket with a built-in hook or a small under-cabinet hook specifically designed for bananas, says Taste Of Home.
