Re: Gemini - Fruit Quality + Quest' for ElCHANAN From Kay

 

Meanwhile, thank You and the team for the posts about fruit quality -

Helpful for those, like Gina and myself living in England.

 

Can we clear up some confusion about BANANAS and REFRIDGERATION?

I understand the skins turn BLACK in cold temps. In my experience this does

not adversely affect the 'meat'inside the

skin, as long as the banana has been RIPENED BEFORE HAND. When I was living

in The Carribean it became neccessary to chill bananas.

Here in the U.K I usually store them in the coolest part of the house to

slow down spotting.

Yes, Kay, all that you say here corresponds with my own experience and

understanding. I only refrigerate bananas when I wish to retard their

further decomposition. The skins do turn black in the refrigerator, but the

bananas inside seem to maintain their integrity fairly well, at least for a

few days. I agree, though, must be ripe first, and also must have the skins

intact.

 

Here in California, I try to slow the ripening during the summer months and

speed it up (add warmth) during the winter!

 

Best,

Elchanan

 

PS will be largely offline for the next couple of days.
