The Banana Trick: Perfect Ripeness Every Time
Bananas to the Rescue
Bananas are a dessert lover’s best friend! To ripen them quickly, place them in a paper bag with an apple. The ethylene gas from the apple speeds up the ripening process. It’s like magic but without the wand and hat. Plus, you can always use bananas in a variety of desserts like banana bread, smoothies, and even ice cream toppings.
