But it seems we've been storing our bananas all wrong - they should never be kept in a fruit bowl. The stems of bananas release a plant hormone called ethylene gas, which helps the fruit ripen from hard green to soft, sweet yellow.
However, this gas also speeds up the ripening process. Other fruits like apples, avocados , mangos, pears, peaches, and berries also emit ethylene gas. When stored together, the combined gas can cause all your fruit to rot prematurely.
But Brenda Anderson, a farmer, cook and founder of Little Lost Creations, has a solution. She suggests storing ripe bananas in the fridge to keep them fresh. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
