What if you could make bananas last up to 10 days longer using a single item already in your kitchen? Here’s the simple hack that’s saving shoppers money and preventing food waste.
The Problem with Fruit Bowl Storage
Most people store bananas in a fruit bowl with other produce like apples, pears, or avocados. The problem?

The secret item? Plastic wrap (cling film). Wrapping the banana stems slows down the release of ethylene gas, which is concentrated in the stem area.
