Storing bananas in the refrigerator will only accelerate the browning reaction. Like most tropical fruits, bananas prefer warm weather. Refrigerator temperatures cause the same cell breakdown that old age does. In the trade this is known as chill injury. Keep bananas out of the fridge until they're good and ripe, and then refrigerate them. The cold keeps them from ripening further. Ideally bananas prefer about 55 degrees F. But unless you've got a wine cellar, room temperature is your best option.

Putting the bananas in the fridge will surely help, although the peels may become an eyesore (brown in color). The fruit inside will still be nice though! Also be sure to remove bananas from their bag (if you buy them like that) soon after you get them.

Answer 1: Put them in the refrigerator!

Answer 2: Putting them in the fridge will make them go brown quickly. Rather place them in a bowl, keep out of direct sun, and you can place a clean small towel over them to keep the sun off. Bananas will eventually go brown anyway, but when peeled brush them with a little lemon or lime juice. I have read somewhere that they can last longer even up to 6 to 8 days if you individually wrap the dark stems in clear kitchen wrap a few times ~ something to do with ethylene gas which is released from the stems and causes the browning in bananas. When this gas comes in contact with other fruits it makes them ripen quickly. So wrapping the stems in kitchen wrap prevents the gas escaping. I have not tried this myself but others have told me it works.

Refrigeration will slow down the ripening process. The skin will darken but the fruit inside will not.

How do you make banana's last?

Keep them in a place with good ventilation. This removes the airborne chemicals that ripe bananas give off; these make bananas around them ripen further so getting rid of them will make your bananas ripen slower. Chill them; this makes them very inactive in terms of ripening and is a standard way of keeping something fresh longer. If you have many bunches of bananas, keep the riper ones separate from the less ripe ones, for the first reason above; you can then apply the above on the different groups of bananas you have.
