Bananas develop and ripen further
after they are harvested, so they can be
picked while they are still green. This allows
them to be shipped to far places with little
storage problem. However, bananas are
sensitive to cool temperatures, and bruise
easily below 55 degrees F. Never keep the
bananas inside the refrigerator when
storing them. 60 to 70 degrees F is the ideal
temperature for allowing bananas to ripen.
Higher temperatures will cause them to
ripen too quickly.

2. Choose those bananas that are firm with a bright appearance and have no signs of injury or
bruises when buying them. Bananas with green tips are not fully developed and should be
allowed to ripen for a day or two or more when
the solid yellow color is specked with brown.
