I hate it when bananas go brown too quickly – my simple tip keeps them fresh for way longer using a 1 cent item

The only problem with fresh produce, however, is it often goes bad before we’ve gotten a chance to eat it all.

A woman named Sandy DiTullio, who goes by @shadiersandy on TikTok, calls herself “the realest housewife that works outside the home” and has gained popularity thanks to her DIY and home hack videos.

She recently received nearly 500k views on a clip in which she shared a tip to stop your bananas from browning so quickly.

Sandy claimed her method would “double, triple, maybe even quadruple” the shelf life of the fruit.

“When you have bananas that are getting brown too quickly, this is what you do.”

She grabbed two pieces of paper towel, still attached to each other, and soaked them with water in the sink.

After barely ringing them out, she folded the pieces a few times lengthwise so that they were thick and long.

“And then, you’re going to wrap it around the top of the bananas like that,” she said, while securing the banana stems with the wet towel.

Sandy then showed a group of bananas that had been hanging with the paper towel for a little over a week, and they looked as good as new—no dark spots or softness in sight.

She advised that you should swap out the paper towel every couple of days to ensure the freshness remains intact.

Users were excited to try the hack, with many adding that plastic wrap and aluminum foil around the stems achieves the same results.

“Thanks for sharing. Will be trying this,” one person commented.

“In Sandy we trust,” added another.
