Tip
Banana Basics
Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas
are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness.
If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an
apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room
temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great
inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe
bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel
will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of
bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.
