<p>Food waste and sustainability is something we’re constantly thinking about at Good Food HQ, so be sure to check out our other food waste guides, like <a href="/howto/guide/how-to-waste-less-asparagus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to waste less asparagus</a> and <a href="/howto/guide/how-to-waste-less-bread" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to waste less bread</a> so that we can all be planet friendlier.</p>
<h2>How to waste less bananas</h2>
<p>1. To ripen green bananas quickly, put them in a paper bag and leave for a day or two – this traps the ethene gas released by the bananas, which speeds up the ripening process. The paper bag allows air to circulate, unlike a plastic food bag that also traps any moisture released by the fruit.</p>
<p>2. If you’d like to bake with your bananas but they’re still green and hard, soften them by piercing all over using a fork, then arrange on a heatproof plate and cook in the microwave in 20 or 30 second bursts until warm on the outside. Leave to cool, then peel and mash.</p>

<p>3. Freeze unpeeled bananas, then use them (peel and all) in baking or smoothies. Simply defrost on a plate first, then blitz in a food processor to use. You can also remove the peel before using, but freezing the bananas whole means you won’t need to use a freezer bag.</p>
