Snack Alternative From Banana

Bananas are fragile and need to be stored properly. If you have purchased your bananas in a cellophane bag over-wrap, you need to remove the wrap as soon as possible. You will want to avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this helps to speed up the ripening process. I hang my bananas from a wooden banana tree to keep them from getting bruised.

You can easily freeze bananas, as they will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Here are 2 ways that you can freeze them.
1. Freeze them with the peels on and in a zipper close bag.
2. Remove them from their peels and sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning, then place them in a zipper close bag.
You can do a lot with bananas, besides just using them for a healthy snack. Here are 2 of my favorite recipes.
