Keep bananas yellow and firm for 3 weeks with clever storage method

If you’d rather keep a bunch of bananas together, consider buying a ‘banana tree hanger’ which “can help slow down ripening and encourage air circulation, it also helps to avoid any resting bruises to the skin of the fruit, which often makes the impacted inside area more of an undesirable mushy texture,” Tash explained.

Many people will place bananas in the fridge once they have reached their preferred ripeness, and Tash agrees with this for “making them last longer”.

As for how long bananas should last if these storage tips are followed, Tash said: “These bananas could last up to 16 days – again, don’t be put off by the brown or over-ripe banana skin, as the fruit inside should remain fresh.”
