Often, when we buy bananas in the supermarket, we realize how much in a few days this fruit tends to rot and blacken. There is, however, a particular method of preservation; This will help us keep the bananas intact for about two years.

Following a varied and healthy diet is the basis of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, our body is a perfect machine, but in order to function properly, it needs to be properly nourished. When it comes to eating well, we can’t fail to mention the importance of consuming the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day.In fact, both are considered natural sources of vitamins and minerals. Bananas are also among the most popular fruits.

In fact, they’re perfect for adding to a delicious pie, energy smoothies, or, alternatively, even for eating on their own. As for the nutritional properties , it is known that bananas contain a lot of potassium, as well as a moderate amount of vitamin A; B vitamins and vitamin C.

However, all of us, when buying bananas, have certainly encountered a problem: after a few days, this fruit starts to turn black and rot. We certainly tried everything to try to make sure that didn’t happen, but to no avail. Let’s discover together, in this regard, a particular tip. Although it has a series of steps to be carried out with care, it will help us to keep the bananas in good condition for a good two years.

Bananas: how to store them

Keeping bananas for more than a few days without rotting seems impossible, but nothing is, especially if you know the right tricks and remedies. To start, obviously, you have to buy the quantity of bananas you want; Scrub the skin with a toothbrush and a little baking soda; rinse them under running water and then dry them with paper towels.

We continue by depriving the fruit of both ends and, without removing the skin, we cut the bananas into pieces that are about two fingers thick. Once this is done, simply get one or more glass jars of about 700 ml and insert the following ingredients in this precise order: a bay leaf ; two cloves of garlic or two cloves; two slices of chili pepper (previously cut); a teaspoon of coriander seeds ; a teaspoon of dill seeds and a teaspoon of a pepper mixture (white pepper, black pepper, green pepper, pink pepper and allspice).

Then we can insert the banana pieces (in a jar of the size above, there will be about a dozen) and another two or three slices of chili. Then we add a teaspoon of sugar; a teaspoon and a half of salt; a teaspoon of 70% vinegar and a little hot water.

How to end the retention process

After placing all the ingredients in the jars, it is necessary to sterilize them . First, let’s equip ourselves with a pot filled with hot water, and insert a piece of cloth inside to prevent the jars from bursting once inserted inside. When we have put all the containers in the pot with their respective lids simply placed on them, we just have to bring everything to the heat and let it sterilize for about ten minutes.

After the necessary time, all we have to do is dry the jars, seal them tightly so that no air enters, and store them in a cool place for two years.
