Try those green bags from Debbie Mayer they are 10. dollars here but they work great. I sometimes forget what is in the fridge and when I buy my fruits and veggies they keep really good.

The Debbie Meyer bags don't work for me. I have learned over the years to keep my fruit separate from each other, especially apples. Fruit gives off a gas that causes fruit to ripen quicker.

Are you talking about AFTER you peel them?
If you dip them in a citrus (orange, lemon, or grapefruit) juice or pineapple juice after they are cut they will not turn black.

Regular plastic bags also work well for keeping the bananas from turning brown. Just tie the bag and leave on the counter.

Buy them green and wrap the stems with clear plastic wrap

Yes. I agree. I love the Debbie Meyer green bags. I put all my produce these days in the bags and put them in the refrigerator. I leave the bananas out on the counter in the bags.

What a money saver as well my produce lasts longer, less trips to the store and less wasted produce going bad. Great investment.

Let them ripen to the desired sweetness, then stick them in the fridge. My husband likes a slightly green banana, as they ripen HANGING ON A BANANA hook on the counter, they get ready for the grandchildren to eat. Then the really ripe ones get peeled and put into bags (4 make a banana bread recipe) to put into the freezer. So start to finish, someone likes them here. Needless to say, you did not hear me say I LIKED THEM. ODed as a child and can't go near them!
