Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for green (unripe) bananas. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Do not hold bananas in refrigerated displays, which are normally below their minimum safe temperature; even ripe fruit can be chill-injured. Produces significant ethylene: store apart from ethylene-sensitive produce. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
