Bananas are naturally radioactive due to their potassium content.
Pick slightly green bananas if you want them to last longer. Fully yellow for immediate use.
Store unripe bananas at room temperature until they ripen. Once ripe, you can refrigerate them to extend their freshness for a few more days. The peel may darken in the refrigerator, but the fruit inside will remain fresh.
