    They brown more in the fridge. If anything cold speeds up the banana going gross.

    Avocados work the way you say. I wouldn’t do it to a banana

      Yes the outside goes brown, but the inside slows down it’s ripening process. Eventually they will all go to mush, but you can keep them at peak ripeness for a few days longer by putting them in the fridge.

      Then again most people won’t eat a banana if it has a single brown spot on it, so I’m probably wasting my breath by telling people they can prevent food waste by eating discolored but perfectly ripe food.
