The ripening effect on other fruit stored nearby could possibly be attributable to residue of the ripening agent (e.g. ethylene gas) that is sprayed on bananas during the ripening process in special warehouses in order to control ripening?
Why not just buy less? Or Tesco sell bananas where half the bag is ripe and half isnt.
Interesting. I guess I just believed the "don't refrigerate" rule without questioning it!From www.chiquita.com
To slow the ripening process once bananas reach your preferred ripeness, put them in the refrigerator. Even though our original jingle warned consumers not to refrigerate bananas, it's really OK. The skin may turn dark, but the fruit will be just right for several days. Back in 1944 when the "Chiquita Banana" jingle lyrics were written, consumers would typically bring home green bananas and put them in the refrigerator which kept them from ripening properly
