its best to store bananas away from your other fruit and vegetable as ripe bananas make everything else ripen or go off faster, and that might be not what u want. i used to have a banana stand but i could only fit a bunch of 5 bananas on it, it was not enough! are very ripe bananas better for you? best bananas i ever had were from an old lady on the side of the road in indonesia, they were cheap and sort of squared shaped, big seeds, so soft and so sweet like baby food!
