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.
TIL
I presume you wanna cut them apart because mine usually don’t separate clean
This OP doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The bananas are picked green, stacked in a warehouse, and then the whole thing is fumigated with ethylene gas. This triggers the ripening process. It doesn’t come from the stem or anything like that (in commercial setting, if left as a bunch on the tree maybe).
You… must have never bought bananas then?
The banana still produces ethylene gas, increasing as they get more rip. Regardless of what started the ripening, it doesn’t just stop because you’re no longer pumping gas.
And OPs tip 100% works.
So what the fuck are you even talking about lol?

His answer seems slightly human but is confidently incorrect?
