When you buy bananas, break them apart into individual bananas instead of leaving them in the bunch.
Why YSK: The stem of the bunch is the main culprit for releasing ethylene gas, which is basically a ripening accelerator. By separating them, you significantly slow down this process. This means your bananas will stay yellow and edible for far longer, saving you from having to eat a dozen bananas in two days or, more likely, throwing them out. No more premature browning, unless you’re specifically aiming for banana bread. Your fruit bowl (and wallet) will thank you.
I have type-o blood. I’m already irresistible to mosquitoes, and I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to realize my wife was counting on this when we walked in the woods.
Look just a little further into the comments, I dug up a couple relevant links.
Apparently beer is also on the skeeter menu… ☹️
Looks around at my type O blood, regular (but moderated) beer intake, and love for bananas
We’ll I’ll be damned.
