How to Ripen a Banana!

We can't always provide you with ready to eat bananas and we choose not to buy completely ripe bananas from the markets as they need to be eaten in a day or so and they won't last you the week or fortnight of your delivery schedule.

So here are some tips for keeping and ripening bananas:

   * Store bananas at room temperature until they reach the ripeness you want, then they can be stored in the refrigerator. The peel of the banana will darken in the refrigerator but the banana will remain firm inside. They can be stored for up to two weeks.

     * Never store unripe bananas in the refrigerator as they will not ripen properly because the cold interferes with the ripening process. If unripe bananas are stored in the fridge and later returned to room temperature, the banana will not resume the ripening process.

     * To ripen a banana faster, place it in a brown paper bag with an apple or tomato overnight.
