Get to Know Your Banana A banana has been chemically ripened if it is brown spotted with a green stalk. If the stalk is black, the banana is naturally ripened. Bananas turn black in the refrigera- tor mainly because of the chemical reactions in their peel. Bananas can be stored in the refrigerator for few days. Despite the peel of banana becoming dark, its content will remain firm and delicious. Coating the banana with or- ganic wax to prevent contact with the oxygen of the air can also slow down the blackening of the skin. Another solution is to peel the bananas beforehand, put them in a sealed freezer bag and then store them in the fridge. Coating them with little bit of fresh lemon juice can help to reduce its darkening process even more.
