How to keep bananas from turning brown
Keeping bananas from turning brown requires proper storage techniques to slow down the ripening process. Here's how to maintain the freshness of bananas:
Separate Bananas: One of the most effective ways to prevent bananas from ripening too quickly is to separate them from the bunch.
Individual bananas produce ethylene gas, which accelerates ripening. By separating them, you can minimize the spread of ethylene and extend their freshness.

Wrap Stems: Covering the stem ends of bananas with plastic wrap or aluminum foil can help prevent ethylene gas from escaping and slow down the ripening process.
Store at Room Temperature: Keep unripe bananas at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once they reach the desired ripeness, you can transfer them to the refrigerator to extend their shelf life.
Refrigeration: Refrigerating ripe bananas can help maintain their freshness for a few more days. However, refrigeration may cause the banana peel to turn brown, although the fruit inside remains unaffected.
