Calling all everyday banana eaters: 

If you are the type of person who buys a bunch of bananas over the weekend to snack on each day, then you know the banana schedule all to well. When you purchase five bananas for the week:

  • Monday is too green.
  • Tuesday is trending in the right direction.
  • Wednesday is perfect
  • Thursday is a denouement (trending in the wrong direction)
  • Friday hit or miss.

This hack could change your banana expectations forever! Once in a while, the bunch has a little piece of plastic wrap covering the stem. Most people tend to rip off that covering, which is might not be the best choice.

The Banana Hack

If this is a hack you do already, awesome! We just learned about it, and we eat bananas everyday, so we absolutely wanted to share.

Cover The Steam

Separate the bunch, and cover each one individually with a small piece of plastic wrap. It ensures freshness and slows down the ripening of the individual bananas promising you the best fruit possible!

Nana Hats

There is an eco-friendly alternate to the plastic trick. Nana Hats solves your over ripe issues, and looks cute too.
