Get Fresh: Bananas
Store bananas separately from other produce (they emit ethylene, which causes other produce to rot).
Look
for bright yellow, firm fruit.
Avoid
fruit with soft spots and mostly brown skin.
Select
medium (less likely to have a woody core), uniformly shaped roots for easier prep.
Ripen
green bananas in a brown paper bag at room temperature for about 3 days.
Refrigerate
to extend their life for up to 3 days (the skins will darken, but it won't impact the flavor ).
