1Select bruise-free bananas
Though supermarkets generally display bananas in big bunches, don’t feel you have to buy more than you need: Just break off the few that you want. Look for bright yellow bananas with no bruises, discolorations, or tears in the peel. (Or, if you won’t eat the bananas for a couple of days, pick ones that are greener, and less ripe.)

2Store bananas on countertop
At home, don’t refrigerate bananas—this stops the ripening process and turns the skin brown. Bananas will last three to five days at room temperature.
