What's the trick to ripening green bananas at home?


I have same experience. It took three weeks for the bananas to become
soft, not ripe. I put them in garage where the temp is usually 80 in the
afternoon. it does not work. I am guessing some chemicals or fertilizer is the cause.


Never saw bagged bananas in my groceries.

Only place I've seen them is Costco and BJ's because the sell a minimum
amount. Local grocery stores sell them by the pound so you can buy just
one or two if you'd like.
