How do you keep banana from turning brown?

Eat themEat them. Bananas continue to ripen after being picked. They are considered to be ideal when a few brown spots appear, although many people prefer green bananas and over-ripe ones. DO refrigerate them, if they are browning faster than you can eat them- the skin will darken but the fruit will stay fresher longer. To slow ripening, don't store bananas with other fruit- ie the typical fruit basket or bowl is not a good idea for bananas, as they ripen too fast.

Why are carnations sensitive to ethylene gas?

Every plant is sensitive to ethylene gas. Ethylene is emitted when damage is done to a plant. It stimulates repair or ripening so that reproduction can take place before it's too late. Bananas are an example of this ripening effect. Put green bananas beside ripe ones and the ethylene ripens the green bananas faster than they would have ripened on the other side of the room. Ethylene ripens all fruit, tomatoes, pears etc. The same is true of flowers.


Why do bananas turn brown on the counter?

Keeping bananas from turning brown, is tricky. Bananas continue to ripen even after harvest. This makes getting them to markets thousands of miles away easier.Bananas, and other fruits and vegetables, ripen faster in the presence of ethylene gas. Problem is, bananas produce ethylene gas too. Ethylene is heavier than air, and increased temperature and moisture promote the production of ethylene. In a bowl or closed container, ethylene pools, hastening ripening (browning). While a counter top is open, ethylene still pools around the fruit.If you want to keep your bananas fresh longer, hang them.

I think you mean an apple will ripen bananas or green tomatoes. The apples as they ripen give off gas that aids and speeds up the ripening of other fruits, like placed in a brown bag with bananas or tomatoes and other fruits. Apples stored in the frige crisper drawer will make other fruits ripen quickly, thus go bad before you use them too.

== == * Even though bananas are a tropic fruit if left in a warm kitchen they will ripen much quicker and go mushy in approximately a week. Bananas SHOULD NEVER be put into the refrigerator.
