These are some great banana tips that I picked up!
~Peel from the bottom so you don't have to pick the stringy things off.
~Take bananas apart when you get home from the store. They ripen faster if they are together at the stem.
~Dip a banana in boiling water for approx. 10-15 seconds (the peel will turn black). Peel to use for your recipe and your banana won't turn dark.
~Try using frozen bananas instead of ice cream for a thick, creamy milkshake.
