Keeping fruit fresh can be quite a challenge in the summer. High temperatures cause our food to deteriorate quickly, so it doesn’t hurt to have tricks that help us keep it fresh for as long as possible.

Today, we are sharing a very simple low-cost trick so that your bananas are always in perfect condition. You will only need a piece of plastic and two minutes of your time, and you will be able to enjoy a fruit bowl with fresh bananas throughout the week.

In the tutorial shared by the user @Rainmaker1973 on Twitter, we can see a very useful homemade tip. The video shows how a plastic bag can be totally effective when it comes to preserving this food. We explain it to you step by step.

According to the tweeter, when bananas ripen, their stems release ethylene gas, and when it spreads to the rest of the fruit, it causes the piece in question to rot quickly. For this reason, the plastic wrap around the stem contains ethylene gas, keeping the bunch fresh.
