Why do Banana Ripen Faster than We Expected?

Banana is the most popular fruit in the world (some resource said tomato is the most popular, but I consider tomatoes as vegetables), thus not surprising that almost all of us consume banana frequently.

Some of people even eat banana in form of fresh and processed bananas every day. We ourselves often eat fry banana in addition to fresh ones.

I believe that many of us can’t eat all bananas we bought every day, every other days or every week, it is because some are too ripen to be eaten in the following days.

Then why do banana ripen faster? The answer that banana is one of fruits that has higher Ethylene (C2H4) content, a kind of hormone in banana or fruit.

If we put other fruits in the same bag of banana, then bananas emit Ethylene in form of gas, the Ethylene circulates in the bag to stimulate other fruits ripen faster.

Over ripen banana

In addition to banana, the following fruit content higher Ethylene, thus could ripen quickly than other fruits:
- Melon
- Avocado
- Apples
- Pears
- Peaches
- Cantaloupe
- Mangoes
- Papayas
- Apricots

Simple ways to prevent bananas ripen quickly are:
- Store individually, not in bunch of bananas
- Separate the brown and green
- Do not wrap in the plastic bags
- Hang banana in the banana hangers.

Have you experienced with bananas ripen quickly than you expect?

  1. All very interesting facts Tanza. I sometimes place a banana skin under a newly planted shrub. They are full of Potassium and the plants love them.

  2. It is always a big challenge to buy just the right amount of bananas before they over ripen. There is only so much banana bread one can make. I try to buy greener bananas and just one or two ripe ones but still they ripen quickly. When I buy organic bananas I notice the ends are wrapped in plastic and I read that helps them not to ripen too quickly. I also find that keeping them in the fridge helps them last longer too. If I put them with other fruits all the fruits go bad more quickly but of course who doesn't love bananas?

  3. Interesting! I don't eat bananas often but when I do, I just pick 3 or 4 due to the quick browning.

  8. We love bananas!! We usually buy just a few so they won't get a chance to ripen too fast. If they do, I just make banana bread in small loaves and then freeze them. We also love them in smoothies. I haven't tried organic ones yet as they are very expensive here.

  13. Interesting facts. I do love a Banana. Normally have one daily in my early morning smoothie although I'm told in this form, more sugars are released.
