So, check out the tricks to use on bananas in your home so that they don't ripen so quickly and give you time to use them in recipes or even as a snack on a daily basis.
For this simple yet effective technique, you will need:
1. Separating the bananas: Start by carefully separating the bananas from the bunch, keeping the stem. This detail is important, as avoiding breaking the stem reduces the banana's contact with the air, reducing the oxidation process.
2. Container preparation: Take a pot with a lid and line it with paper towel. In other words, this step is crucial, as the paper absorbs moisture, preventing the bananas from deteriorating quickly.
3. Organization of bananas in the jar: Place the bananas in the pot, one on top of the other gently. Therefore, it is essential not to squeeze the fruits, so that they do not get hurt.
4. Finalization and storage: Cover the bananas with another layer of paper towel and close the pot. Store in the refrigerator. Therefore, this colder and more controlled environment will delay ripening, keeping the bananas perfect for longer.
By adopting this technique, you will notice that ripe bananas last much longer. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to use these bananas in different recipes, exploring the versatility of this beloved ingredient.
Please note: regularly check the condition of the bananas in the refrigerator. They will ripen more slowly, but they still ripen.
Finally, very ripe bananas are great for recipes! Cakes, muffins, smoothies… Take advantage of the natural sweetness of these fruits to enrich your culinary creations.
