I read online that bananas will ripen slower if you pull them apart from the bunch. I did this a few weeks ago but then I realized I’d have no idea if the ripening process did actually slow because I hadn’t thought to leave a few together.
So, behold, the Banana Experiment:
Day 1: All bananas look pretty much the same.
Day 2: Yep, all bananas look pretty much the same.
Day 3: Uh, yep, all bananas looking pretty much the same here!
Day 4: Sigh. All bananas look pretty much the same. Except of course for the missing fourth, which, well, looked a lot like a banana soy smoothie this morning.
I know what you’re all thinking. Some day my contributions to the banana sciences be recognized. Until then, separate your bananas or don’t separate them. See if I care!
You funny.
Yes, you very funny:-) A crazy, funny, banana girl. And I am definitely that girl’s sister because I have an idea for the next banana experiment! Please research how to make sure there are no residual banana chunks when making smoothies in the blender, just a run of the mill, non-super duper vita mix blender. I always get a few chunks in the bottom that didn’t get all good and blended. This morning I tried just cutting the banana in half as opposed to cutting it into smaller pieces and that helped. Maybe I should freeze it first. Sigh, nanner issues.
I would say mash it up first. Or maybe you need more liquid. And I’M the crazy banana girl…sheesh!
Val, you need to chew up the bananas first and spit them into the blender. It’s the extra moisture that gets out all the chunks.
No, I’m sorry, but that’s a bunch of bolonge! ( How do you spell bologne?!) It was needed more liquid as your wife suggested:-)
This really made me laugh. Now, I have an experiment for you to try. make some guacamole and place it into two bowls. Put the seeds from the avacados in one of the bowls and not the other. See how long the seeded version stays green. Did you know about that trick? I sure didn’t but it seems to work but I have not used a control bowl of guac and you clearly have more time than me.
My awesome trick with avocados is to cover what you’re not using with olive oil. So, let’s say you only eat half an avocado. Put some olive oil on a plate and place the avocado mush-side down in the oil. Keeps for a good while!
