I may be the last person on earth to figure this out—store your bananas away from everything with a shelf-life. They have a way of making other produce decay faster and making bread products taste faintly of banana (not the good kind of banana bread).

I store my bananas on the top of my fridge along with my avocados. I like my avocados to ripen fast. They can’t ripen fast enough. 🙂
I just heard that you should separate them. it keeps them from turning brown all at once.
Great reminder! I stored an avocado in my fruit bowl with the bananas and ended up being late for work this morning while I madly mashed up the avocado to spread on toast as I realised that it wouldn’t survive another day! Haha!
I totally need to do this, thanks for the tip!
Hardly the last person to realize this.
But there is a beneficial side to this. If you put a banana in a plastic bag with unripe fruit – this includes Avocado – the ethylene gas given off by the still ripening banana, will speed up ripening of of the companion fruit.
You just made this tip 1000x better! Genius idea.
A paper bag is better than plastic as the plastic one may “sweat” and make the contents soggy
