Simple hack stops bananas from shrivelling and keeps them fresher for longer


Bananas browning before their time is a pesky problem to solve, but luckily there are a couple of solutions out there.

A man has tried out a banana hack to see if they truly stay fresh longer with the method. Taking to his TikTok account @that40yearoldman, he got to work.

He took three bananas that were attached at the stems and dipped the banana stems in water without detaching the bananas from each other.

“We’ll come back in a week or so and see what they look like,” he told viewers.

After 12 days he checked the bananas he had dipped in water and compared them to bananas that he hadn’t dipped in water.

Another exclaimed: “Aluminum foil on the stalk!”

“Wrap the stems with saran Wrap, works better than water trick!!” an additional person added.

Another person mirrored that sentiment writing: “I’ve always used Saran Wrap just around stem with a rubber band. Lasts way longer.”
