How to stop bananas ripening - for more than a week
- I did an hour of research to discover this, and it works.
- Peel them and keep them in a container in the fridge (not the freezer).
- Try to minimize pressure of bananas on the container or each other (see picture, it bruises them)
- Apparently ripening is caused by the skin and stem.
- Today I enjoyed another banana bought a week ago, still as it was then.
- This means we can buy 'ready' bananas, or even 'starting to speckle', and not have to visit the supermarket so often (saves fuel and carbon, you don't impulse-spend on other things while there, also wasting money, overeating).
- It also means no-more unhealthy 'have to eat that banana because it's going off' when you don't want to.

Have you seen this recent addition to the children's sensory garden at Memorial Park Terrace End? It was an exciting privilege to work with the PNCC to create this special glass mosaic river with pebbles hand-painted by local school kids.
