Should you put bananas in the refrigerator or should they go on a banana hanger?

Answer 1

Yes, you can put bananas in the refrigerator, but note that it SLOWS the ripening process.

Refrigerate bananas when the banana reaches the stage of ripeness that you prefer. The peel will darken, but the banana inside will remain firm and delicious.

They will also keep for a longer time in a refrigerator.

Answer 2

If you want the bananas to ripen quickly, store them at room temperature. Placing bananas in the refrigerator slows down the ripening process tremendously. According to Dole, refrigeration will turn the skin/peel brown faster but that the fruit will remain fresh longer than if stored at room temperature. See Related Links.

More informationI recently placed some mostly green ones in a plastic bag when I bought them at the produce market, pushed out as much air as possible, sealed the bag, and put them in the refrigerator when I got home. After four weeks they were good in color (yellow) and flavor. I discovered how to do this by trial and error.

That works fine, but I suck the air out, works even better. Can be done with Ziplock type bags if you only leave a small opening. You can also freeze bananas that are getting over ripe, but you MUST remove the peel first. Do not defrost them. The consistency will change, but the bananacicle tastes great.

I think that you shuldnt put bananas in Dee fridge, cuz I think they get all soft nd mushy.....unless yhu like ur bananas that way then yhu go on nd do that.-__-

Answer 3

A banana hanger will keep the banana bunch in its natural positon and allow it to ripen slower. Keeping it on a hanger will allow for proper air circulation and protect it from bruising, all of which will allow the fruit to ripens slowly and naturally.

The quickest way to ripen a banana is in a paper bag, at room temperature.
