Ripe Banana Tips

Did you know the average banana travels over 4,500 miles to get to the UK? Don't make it a wasted trip!⁠

We bin 1.4 million of these sweet, bendy fruits every day in the UK. That’s a sad end to their journey when they've travelled so far.



Here are some tips to make the most of your ripe bananas⁠:⁠

🍌 Speed up ripening by placing with other ripe fruit or wrapping in a paper bag⁠

🍌 Slow down ripening by separating from the bunch or keeping in the fridge⁠

🍌 Peel and freeze till you need them!⁠

🍌 Brown bananas are sweeter, perfect for blending into smoothies or making banana bread

🍌 Use the peel to make plants fertilizer ⁠
