Banana Stand

Banana stands slow down the ripening process and postpone spoilage by two days. To understand how the process works, bananas generate considerably more ethylene than other fruits, which means that if left unattended, they often have a shorter shelf life than other fruits. A banana stand, also known as a banana hook or a banana holder, keeps your bananas fresher for longer and helps them ripen uniformly. Banana supports allow air to circulate around the fruit, removing excess ethylene. The less ethylene exposed the bananas are, the slower they will ripen. They are also more likely to ripen evenly with air circulation rather than primarily on one side, as they do when left on a counter. Second, banana hangers or stands keep the bananas from bruising under their own weight when they sit on a rough surface. This banana hanging stand works to some part by promoting the free passage of air around the bananas. This helps to disperse the ethylene gas produced by bananas as they ripen. Ethylene gas accelerates ripening. Using a banana stand in a location with little or no air movement will not extend shelf-life. So use a banana hanger or stand to hang your bananas. This reduces the amount of oxygen available to the stem and can keep bananas fresh for another week.
