Delay Banana’s Ripening

Bananas are sweet, yellow fruits that have a short lifespan. Once you buy a bunch, you have to consume it as soon as possible, else you’ll have unappetizing browning and mushiness on your hands. This is because of the ethylene produced. Although there are several hacks that can help you keep your banana yellow and fresh, there’s one trusted and tested hack that is very easy to do.

Wrap the stem with aluminum foil and you have your solution. The ethylene gas that controls the ripening and browning of the fruit is not released as fast as it normally should, thereby slowing down the ripening process.
