So I read a little article in Good Housekeeping Magazine about the shelf life of different foods. One in particular that caught my eye was how to preserve your bananas. Chef Matt Bolus from Charleston, SC says that when you get the bananas home from the store, break them apart. He says Bananas rot in bunches, so if one browns first, it will cause the others to turn more quickly.
So I bought a bunch of bananas on Saturday and I broke them apart and you know what? They have lasted a bit longer so far. I will try this again with next weeks bunch of bananas and see how they do.
Also, regarding tomatoes? The chef says to store tomatoes on the counter, stem side down. Avoid the fridge, they will lose flavor and texture. Never leave them in plastic. They won't last long.
