You’ve heard all the classic ideas for saving your bananas – make banana bread, muffins, blah blah blah – but maybe you don’t have time for that or maybe you just want to enjoy the beauty of a banana in it’s purest form. And no one wants to throw them away because food waste is the worst.

Yes, you read that correctly. It’s super easy. Step 1: Pick up bananas. Step 2: Walk to fridge. Step 3: Place in fridge. And viola! Your bananas will stay at their ripeness for quite a few days, even up to a week.
Truly groundbreaking stuff, I know.
