Bananas keep fresh for 'almost a month' when stored with one kitchen item

A food expert has shared a simple storage hack for prolonging the life of bananas, and it promises to keep them fresh and yellow for an impressive period of time Bananas are a delicious and nutritious snack that are easy to grab on the go, but they're notoriously known for rapidly ripening. ‌ Various methods can help extend the shelf life of the fruit, including wrapping the stems with cling film and foil. However, one food expert has revealed a distinctive storage trick that promises to keep bananas fresh for up to a remarkable 26 days. ‌ Amy Cross demonstrated the technique on her TikTok account @amycrosslegacy, showing precisely what to do in the clip, which has garnered more than 100 likes. It comes after a doctor's warning to people who drink even a 'single cup of tea'. ‌ Half a million free Cinnamon Social slices up for grabs in Ole & Steen's UK-wide giveaway The social media user sliced a banana into sections while keeping the peel on and placed them in a glass jar in the fridge. In a follow-up video, she then disclosed that astonishingly, the banana pieces remained fresh with vibrant yellow skins after 26 days, reports the Express. ‌ She said: "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." Amy originally intended to see if she could maintain a cut banana fresh for longer hours, but she far surpassed that target by achieving weeks of freshness. "The whole goal of putting the bananas in the jar was to see if I can get a cut bananas to last 12 hours, and it's been 26 days," she added. ‌ If you're not keen on chopping your bananas, store them in a cool, shaded spot. Bananas should be maintained at roughly 12 degrees, as they'll ripen quicker if they're too warm. Bananas thrive in a room with low light and no direct sunlight, so a toasty kitchen isn't the best place for them. If you're looking to store peeled bananas, the juice trick is your best bet. Once a banana has been sliced and exposed to air, it's prone to browning quickly. To prevent this, it's recommended to drizzle some lemon or pineapple juice over it, making it perfect for a fruit salad.

Christine Lampard open-mouthed as Joe Baggs brazenly declares 'all the Love Island stars were having sex' after explosive finale - and reveals the VERY rude items he found on the villa floor

Christine Lampard was open-mouthed as Joe Baggs brazenly declared that 'all the Love Island stars were having sex ' after Monday evening's explosive finale. The latest episode of the ITV2 dating show saw Toni Laites, 24, and Cach Mercer, 24, get crowned winners of the twelfth series. During Tuesday's instalment of ITV 's Lorraine, step-in host Christine Lampard, 44, was joined by spin-off Aftersun panelist Joe Baggs, 29, joined her live from Mallorca. Christine said: 'Is it true, Joe, this has been the raunchiest series to date?' Former Gogglebox star Joe replied: 'Yeah so it has [been]. There has been a lot going on in that bedroom. 'I actually went into the bedroom, they had a night where the cameras were off and it was quite a mess! 'Apparently they had to bring in extra condoms, extra protection for this series of Love Island. They used them all up... 'I actually saw quite a few packets of condoms on the floor.' A shocked Christine said: 'Oh my goodness. 'It's almost too much information. 'But yes Joe, I see where you're getting at. It was fairly evident that they were all... 'Yeah raunchy is probably the best word to say.' A source previously told The Sun: 'It's been a long while since there was as much action in the bedroom as this year. 'When Harry and Helena went into the hideaway on the third day, it set the ball rolling and it's been a particularly feral year. 'Duty of care is paramount so once it became apparent that the 2025 cast were a frisky bunch, producers took the decision to stock up on condoms.' 'There's been duvet tents almost every night. 'Duty of care is paramount so once it became apparent that the 2025 cast were a frisky bunch, producers took the decision to stock up on condoms.' One of the most eye-popping moments from this year's Love Island was when footballer Harrison Solomon, 22, asked Harry Cooksley, 30, to pass him a condom in the middle of the night. Harry was happy to oblige his friend and could be seen on screen passing him a condom. Lauren Wood, 26, then climbed on top of Harrison before the camera panned away to show the islanders' shocked faces. The islanders certainly played into producers' hands this season after they made several changes to encourage sexual activity. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. 'The show will continue to thrive.' And although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses said they were hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tore up the rule book' and install new furniture to help encourage bonking and create drama. One of the new additions included a trampoline bed that sits across the swimming pool, and the Love Island exec insisted it had been tested for up to four people. The secret hideaway - which included a bed and hot tub - was open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up. Speaking ahead of the 10-year anniversary series of the hit reality show, Mike told the Mail: 'There's a new trampoline bed, that would be good for throuples. 'It can take the weight of four, we've checked. It's all about keeping the show fresh and exciting. And that's what we've got.' The producers' desire for a threesome was fulfilled too, with at least one taking place and bombshell Yasmin Pettet, 24, openly suggesting the possibility upon her arrival. While it's not known exactly how many condoms were supplied to the 2025 islanders, previous reports suggested that producers dispersed 200 around the villa.
