Bananas are great, but they can spoil pretty easily!. I've found that separating them and putting them in the refrigerator help slow down the process!. They'll brown on the outside but are still well preserved on the inside!. I'll actually place bananas on different shelves and at different ends of the fridge!. You'll have to make sure to check that none get forgotten in the back!. I've done this to some reduced priced, overripe bananas before and they've stayed pretty good for several more days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
