Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I can't even keep 6 bananas in this house before they go bad... how does one keep a box of them good for a week?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 When I receive my bananas, they are still pretty green, and don't quite ripen all at once. As soon as they are yellow with a few brown spots, I start eating them,and when they are more brown, I use them for smoothies; I find it works best to dovetail my orders, so that as one batch has ripened, I order another so that it can start ripeneing as I eat the others. If they ripen too quickly, I refrigerate them to slow the process. The peels go very dark, but the bananas are still fine.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 great for the ideas... we have a farmers market here and I can get just about anything I want... I buy strawberries by the big flats (case) and cut tops off , slice and freeze. suppose I could do that with some of the bananas if they start to ripen too fast. David likes them more on the green side... heavy sigh.... but I don't. Suppose I could always make leathers out of them also... this is the part of all this that I am unsure of. the storage of things that are made up ahead of time. I read conflicting info on this .. Like smoothies or juices can bee made up ahead of time like by the gallon and stored in fridge for the day.. but I thought they would lose their vitamins or something if not drank soon after making and by soon I mean within 30 minutes.. My smoothies usually are about 32 oz at a time... and they fill me up to where I couldn't drink one again for a few hours later... Anyway... thanks Valerie for the idea..

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thanks Valerie!!! I completely forgot to mention about refrigerating, bananas will last for some time that way, as long as the peels are intact.
