Bananas have a tendency to ripen pretty quickly. Fortunately, there are several ways to prolong their delicious yellow stage.
The simplest one may be to get a banana hanger. It prevents bruising and decreases the chance of exposing the banana flesh to oxygen, which will only makes it ripen that much faster. Be sure to hang bananas away from other fruits that release a lot of ethylene gas as they ripen. The biggest culprits behind bananas ripening prematurely are avocados, peaches, tomatoes, apples and figs.
