When you buy bananas, break them apart into individual bananas instead of leaving them in the bunch.

Why YSK: The stem of the bunch is the main culprit for releasing ethylene gas, which is basically a ripening accelerator. By separating them, you significantly slow down this process. This means your bananas will stay yellow and edible for far longer, saving you from having to eat a dozen bananas in two days or, more likely, throwing them out. No more premature browning, unless you're specifically aiming for banana bread. Your fruit bowl (and wallet) will thank you.

Who keeps bananas longer than a week? I mean in our household if we buy 10 on Saturday they'll be one left by the following Friday... 😋
