I bought two bunches of organic bananas at Costco today. I knew two was one too many. But I don’t know when we’ll be able to get back there.
I tell my wife, “Put them in the refrigerator.”
She says, “You can’t do that.”
I say, “Let’s google it.”
Here you go. Turns out, you can. It’s all about the science (slows ripening).
The cold temperatures in your refrigerator slow down the ripening process for bananas. If the bananas are green and unripe, they will not ripen any further and probably won’t ripen even if you return them to room temperature. The banana skin will also darken, but that won’t affect the inside if you leave the bananas refrigerated for just two or three days.

Turns out, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
My wife was right.
The frozen bananas sucked.
I never had to worry about refrigerating bananas. I’d buy 2 bunches. 1 for me, 1 for everyone else. They would last day and a half at most.
