Need to ripen bananas quickly?

bananas promos.jpg

Why would you want overripened bananas? One, they're sweeter, and two, very ripe bananas make the best banana bread! If you want to ripen your bananas in a hurry, there are a couple ways to do so.

1.) Put them in a brown paper bag for a couple days. To speed the process, add an apple to the bag.

2.)Use the microwave. Pierce the skin of the banana in a few spots, then heat on high for 1-2 minutes with the skin on.

Also, if you find yourself with too many bananas, put them in the freezer, skin and all. To thaw them out, just leave them on the counter at room temperature.
