Keeping the brown away makes bananas much more attractive.
Bananas tend to turn brown once they're peeled, which is not visually appealing when making a recipe calling for bananas or creating an inviting fruit salad. With a little help from science, however, the issue of bananas turning brown can be easily remedied. Treating peeled bananas with acidic fruit juice will make them -- and your recipes -- much more appetizing.
Instructions
1. Buy bananas when they are green.
Purchase green bananas and allow them to ripen.
2. Refrigerators extend the life of bananas.
Put the bananas in the refrigerator once they've ripened. The outside will turn brown, but keeping them in the refrigerator keeps the inside white up to four extra days.
3. Squeeze or pour juice from oranges, lemons, limes, pineapples or any combination of acidic fruits into a bowl or spray bottle.
4. Peel the skin and mist or brush the banana with acidic fruit juice. The vitamin C in the juice slows the oxidation of the banana and acts as a preservative.
