HOW TO PICK
A ripe banana has a wonderful, rich flavour that is hard to beat. Bananas ripen after picking, so if you want to
eat your bananas immediately, then choose fruit with bright yellow skins and a few brown marks.
HOW TO STORE
Store ripe bananas in the fruit bowl, away from direct sunlight. If you buy bananas that are a little green, store them at room temperature in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple and they will soon sweeten.
