Bananas will stay fresh for 26 days without going brown if you store with 1 kitchen item

Bananas are notorious for ripening rapidly and turning mushy and brown.

Numerous techniques exist to extend their shelf life, including wrapping banana stems with cling film or foil.

However, one food expert has revealed a distinctive storage method that guarantees your bananas remain fresh for up to 26 days.

Amy Cross, who shares content online under the handle @amycrosslegacy, demonstrated her straightforward technique to followers online.

In the clip, which has garnered over 100 likes on TikTok, she slices a banana (keeping the peel intact) into segments and places them in a glass jar within the fridge.

Astonishingly, after 26 days, the banana pieces remained fresh with vibrant yellow skins.

She explained: "These are the bananas I purchased on March 13, and I cut this into thirds and put it into a jar, so they're 26 days old."
