Eat themEat them. Bananas continue to ripen after being picked. They are considered to be ideal when a few brown spots appear, although many people prefer green bananas and over-ripe ones.

DO refrigerate them, if they are browning faster than you can eat them- the skin will darken but the fruit will stay fresher longer. To slow ripening, don't store bananas with other fruit- ie the typical fruit basket or bowl is not a good idea for bananas, as they ripen too fast.

To keep the flesh of a peeled banana from turning brown, mist it or dip it in the juice of an acidic fruits such as lemon, lime, orange, or pineapple. There are also commercial preparations such as Ever-Fresh and Fruit-Fresh, which have a similar effect.

Store bananas away from other fruits, as the ethylene gas given off affects ripening. Ripening can be halted by placing the banana in the refrigerator, but this will cause the skin to darken considerably.

or Place bananas in a brown paper bag and store in the refrigerator. they stay fresh longer and the turning brown process is much slower.
