Interesting info on Bananas!
Bananas may be kept in the fridge but will ripen much more slowly. The skins will darken but quality of the fruit is not impaired. Letting them warm to room temperature before using them improves the flavor. Of course, they don't go bad as quickly when in the fridge either. A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych…
