THE FUSE

Bananas are a commonplace item on many a grocery list, working well as a quick snack, or in many breakfasts and baked goods. But one thing that drives most banana fans crazy is the speed at which they ripen and over-ripen. For most, it feels like they have one good day of bright yellow fruit on their counter, and as soon as they blink, the bright yellow fades, and brown, freckled skin takes its place – leaving you with overly ripe, mushy fruit and another banana loaf to make.
