What causes bananas to rot?

Answer 1

Rotting Fruit

Bacteria are the primary causes. This is why most fruit requires refrigeration as refrigeration slows bacterial growth. In the air there are billions of bacteria. Don't worry about getting sick because your body kills off over 99% of any bacteria that may enter the body. Anyway, over a period of time bacteria are "chewing" on the fruit, and after a while, signs of the breakdown start to show, and that is the brown and soft spots that you see on the fruit. If you like. buy a bunch of bananas, and take 2 of equal size. Put one in the freezer, and put one on your counter or something, and check in about a week or so. The unrefrigerated banana should be softer if not a little rotted than the refrigerate one.

Bananas rot faster in the refrigerator not on the counter i did this before

yes this is all true
because bananas rot fastest because they are usually left out in room temperature

Answer 2

You can either leave it outside or put it inside.

Then you wait. And wait. And wait. Until it turns all black and mushy and gross.

Then you can make some banana bread with it! :D

Or of course you can hurl it at someone. Or dare someone to eat it. The possibilities are endless.

If it grosses you out, throw it in the trash can.

If you think its weird, try opening it up.

If the inside is still yellow, then leave it alone till its all black and mushy and gross and full of mold. Then the real fun begins... *-*

you keep it out for weeks, possibly months for the fruit flies to come or it just goes off
