Yep, you heard me. Bananas actually CAN last longer than just a few days after you get them home from the store. And not only can they last, but they can stay just as firm as they day you brought them home.
How, you say? By putting them in the refrigerator. It's a simple tip, really, but it saves me from making lots of banana bread. As soon as you get home from the store, slip those bad boys in the refrigerator. They'll stay firm for a couple of weeks at least.
Just note one thing: The peels will turn brown. Don't worry about it. The insides will be as fresh as ever! Happy eating!
