Thanks for your support ♥ amzn.to/2Ktmpn4
Storing bananas? Why is it so difficult? We go to the grocery store and purchase bananas and by the time we get around to eating them, they are brown and mushy. We are often asked the question, can you put bananas in the fridge. If you keep bananas in the refrigerator, the outside of the banana will turn brown very quickly. However, the inside of the banana ripening process will tend to slow down. We conducted several experiments trying to figure out how to keep bananas from turning brown, and we can tell you without a doubt, storing bananas in a refrigerator will cause them to turn brown quicker and is not the best place to store bananas. Well then you are probably asking the question, how do you keep bananas from turning brown? Well before we answer that question let's talk about what causes bananas to ripen in the first place. You may not know this but lots of banana distribution centers and large banana retailers, have an area in their warehouse or store where they keep bananas so that they can capture the ethylene gas that comes off the bananas. Also they want to capture the ethylene gas that is all around the bananas from other sources. When we started working on this KZfaq video trying to figure out how to store bananas, we search for ways on how to keep bananas fresh. We discovered the same thing that the major retailers and banana distributors have already discovered. And that is the fact that you must control ethylene gas, if you want it keep bananas from turning brown too quickly. We invite you to watch our KZfaq video, how to store bananas, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section
Here's Some Banana Trivia
Did you know that bananas float in water? Well the fact is bananas float in water just like apples and watermelons. Are bananas grown in the United States? The only state with a climate suited for growing bananas today is Hawaii. Bananas used to be grown in California and Florida. The bananas that most Americans eat come from Latin America, South America, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, and Guatemala. The type of banana that most Americans eat is called the Cavendish banana. There is a banana Museum just south of Palm Springs, California, where you will find thousands of banana related items.

One thing I would like to note is that most consumers buy more bananas than they normally consume resulting in waste. The supermarket bunches bananas for convenience, and truthfully, to get you to buy more bananas therefore moving product and increasing sales. You are under no obligation to buy an entire bunch of bananas. Bananas, like a lot of produce, is sold by weight. You can go into the store and pull off one banana for purchase. So next time if you want just four bananas, buy only four bananas.

@KitchenTipsOnline 9 ай бұрын

You've hit the nail on the head - bananas can be a tricky fruit to handle when it comes to waste. It's like a fine balance between buying enough to enjoy without letting them turn into a science experiment. I appreciate you bringing up the point that bananas are sold by weight and that folks are not obligated to purchase more than they need. That having been said, the information in the video will come in handy for people who cannot get to the store that often or who are inclined to buy from wholesale clubs. I appreciate your input, Mike 🧔

The strings inside the banana peel are called phloem bundles, which are what make up the vascular system in the fruit, delivering nutrients to the bananas. Another little tidbit that may be interesting to some folks is that the peel of the banana is edible and packed with nutrients. For me, I will stick to what lies beneath the skin, as they are not very pleasing to the pallet. In closing I would like to say thank you for your "Kitchen Tips" and as a new subscriber, I look forward to more videos in the future.

Freeze them, they last much longer and are a great-frozen treat.

@KitchenTipsOnline 9 ай бұрын

Great tip, thanks! Freezing bananas is a great way to keep them fresh. When you freeze bananas, the ethylene gas that causes them to ripen is slowed down, so they will stay good for several weeks. Frozen bananas are also a great way to make smoothies, banana bread, and other baked goods. To freeze bananas, simply peel them and slice them into rounds or chunks. Place the bananas in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to use the bananas, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Enjoy! Mike 🧔 Here are some additional tips for freezing bananas: If you're freezing bananas for smoothies, you can slice them up and freeze them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Once they're frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer bag or container. This will help prevent the bananas from sticking together. You can also freeze bananas whole. To do this, simply peel the bananas and place them in a freezer bag or container. Be sure to label the bag or container with the date so you know how long the bananas have been frozen. Frozen bananas can be used in a variety of recipes. They're a great addition to smoothies, banana bread, muffins, and pancakes. You can also use them to make ice cream or sorbet.

I see two things here, the dark bananas = super moist banana cake/bread/muffins and then the yellow bananas = a great snack/banana split. Love me some bananas!!! Love this video, definitely a great idea. we hang ours from a tree on the counter to prevent bruising but that doesn't of course stop the aging/browning. I may have to look and see if I can find a suitable container to place the banana tree WITH the bananas hanging on it, within the sealed container, to slow aging and bruising. Best of both worlds. If it fails, there's always great tasting baked banana products from the blackened ones...yum either way! Thanks for the great video.

The "stringy bits" are "phloem bundles" and are very nutritious. I've heard them called many things, mostly stuff you wouldn't say in mixed company since some of the men might find such talk objectionable. BTW, since I already knew the ethylene gas thing, I was still taught something new! You mentioned that bananas ripening on the counter could be refrigerated. I had always been told this would just speed up the browning and ruin the fruit. It's just the husk (or skin) that continues to brown! Thank you!

Well, mom always called them banana strings just like you did. I live in Costa Rica and I control the gas by separating the bananas. literally keeping each one maybe a yard away from each other. And you can take a tiny piece of plastic wrap and wrap around the topmost area of the banana which helps keep the gas from ripening it's brothers. If that doesn't work try getting a 7-year-old. Mine eats them before they can go bad.

Interesting. Incidentally what I do is tie a tight plastic around the top of the bunch of bananas to ensure the ethylene gas doesn't cause the bananas to ripen too fast. I have found that to be a good remedy too. The ethylene gas comes out from the top of the banana, hence the idea would be to ensure to tie it real tight.

The pale strings on the inside of a banana are called "phloem bundles"! The name refers to the tissue type, aka phloem, which act as the plant's vascular system, delivering nutrients up and down the fruit.

Those strings in between the fruit and skin is rich in fiber, B6 and B12. Called the Phloem I think and they're kind of like veins that carry the nutrients to the fruit. There's the mineral manganese and possibly more, don't know. I've been washing each banana then cutting the ends off and chopping them to size for the blender. Puree with a peach or two topping it with iced strawberries. Mmmmm Whipped cream...oh man...I'm starting to cry 😎

Wow! Thanks for posting this!! Maybe this will keep me from wasting bananas. I buy several at different ripening stages, after being at home they all ripen quickly to the same ripeness. It's so frustrating. Oh, I peel from the bottom, so much easier. but at times I still get the thicker strands of whatever that is.

@KitchenTipsOnline 9 ай бұрын

Hey Macy! I'm really glad you found the video helpful. Dealing with bananas ripening quickly can definitely be frustrating. Using the method demonstrated in the video keeps the bananas from ripening but sometimes you may want to ripen one or two fast. I made a video on how to ripen bananas fast that you may want to check out. I'll include the link.

Hey Mike, I found to keep asparagus. For longer time. I live by myself, I can't eat as much as they bunch together. Well I take a lg glass fill with water maybe half way. Take the asparagus cut some of the stem off put that end into to glass. It stays really nice until you want to use it. I love it. Store in refrigerator of course. Love your video. Virginia👍👍

@@KitchenTipsOnline Asparagus Preparation Pro Tip: Use Bacon Fat/Grease, Butter, (Olive or Avocado Oil can be used instead, just NOT as Tasty/Savory when done.) and Fresh Garlic Minced for the base to cook your Asparagus in. Cook the Asparagus on Medium Heat for a few minutes stirring/turning. Then Cover and turn down to Low heat for a about 5 minutes. Add other seasonings to taste..i.e. Salt-Pepper-Curry...etc if you like. Then put cover back on and turn off heat. Let rest for about 10 minutes on the now turned off burner and they are ready to serve. NO SLIME, VERY TENDER, and of course DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS!! ;~) P.S. New Subscriber and RANG THE BELL.

When get home from the store I melt some canning wax on my induction cook top and dip the cut area to completely coat the cut surface. This will delay the ripening. Coating the wound every time you rip off a banana will slow the process down even more.

Eek. I thought I'd never get rid of all those pests. So now it's down to 2 at a time, but after I get these pods, I will buy more at a time. Thanks for the gadget tip.

Freeze bananas when they are the color you like (or a day before). Peel bananas first of course. I save the bags that had cereal in them or granola, etc. Put one or two bananas per bag into the freezer. Take out the freezer and there you go, an ice pop with no added sugar and healthy goodness. Yum Yum Yum!

Great job. Sometimes I wonder why there is so much food waste in our country when they are solutions to extending the Shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Take the example of some supermarkets they rather charge 79 cents a pound for basic bananas and dump half of their rotten bananas after 7 to 10 days on the shelf instead of charging 59 cent a pound on day 1, 49 cent a pound on day 3 and 3 pounds for a dollar on day 5 or 7. Here is a tip for grocery stores and supermarkets start selling banana smoothies for the bananas that are10 days old on the shelf.

The stringy bits are known as phloem (pronounced flom). They act as veins to bring nutrients to the fruit, and if you don't like them, peel your banana from the bottom up and apparently you won't get them! Phloem has a very important function when it comes to the growth of plants. Harking back to school biology days, you may remember that plants have two different types of transport tissue. Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant, giving the banana its flavour and nutrients. Hope this helps - Derek.
