A fruit bowl is one of the worst places to store bananas to keep them fresh (Image: Getty) Buying fruit from the supermarket only for it to go brown and mushy after a few days can drive you bananas, but there is a simple way to keep them fresh and yellow for much longer. Bananas tend to spoil quickly as they have thin skin which bruises easily and a high sugar content which attracts bacteria to them which speeds up the ripening process. However, the main reason bananas do not stay fresh is that often they are not stored properly as the fruit bowl is one of the worst places to keep them in the kitchen.
