Bananas are a convenient and nutritious snack, but they present a challenge when it comes to maintaining their freshness.

They ripen quickly on countertops, leading to overripe fruit and potential waste.

But a simple hack can improve their shelf life and preserve their flavour and texture.

A Tiktoker, by the username @amycrosslegacy, shared a video of a hack she discovered that helped her cut banana last in the fridge for nearly a month.

In the video, Amy said she cut a singular banana into thirds, with the peel still on, and placed them into a sealed jar.

“Only want half a banana? Great, sweetie. You can have half a banana.

“Throw the other half in a jar and eat it tomorrow or the next day.

“Maybe longer as we are still testing this theory and will update! If you want the best results keep the banana as whole as possible, in a peel and put in a jar similarly to an avocado.”
