Have you tried it?

When I cut a banana in half like the pic, the end browns a little by the next day but it does no harm and tastes the same.

I've been exercising for 2 hours in order for me to eat a whole banana. After learning that cutting a banana in 1/2 won't ruin it, I'm going to cut my exercise to only one hour. That extra hour should help in looking for & reading this kind of valuable information.

My wife will peel hers half way, then wrap (overlap) the saved half with the peels
and carefully lay it back in the fruit bowl

two weeks later....compost

I don't mind the brown end but that is a good idea too.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Have you tried it?

No...I wonder if it is a joke? I just put 1/2 in the frig and eat later that day....works fine. Maybe this person is a frustrated engineer.

I pass the remaining half to one of the horses.

I cut pieces off one every day for Rabbit. I don't usually eat it myself due to the high carbs. I use a banana bag in the crisper. The skin can turn black and the inside is still good. Sometimes the end will turn brown but not bad and if it is bad, I will cut the end off for Rabbit. But he is not fussy about his bananas!

Who eats only half a banana? I've never heard of such a thing.

Yeah,... I think you need to add how long the amputee lasts in the fridge. Try buying a freezer.

I eat how much I want and the rest goes in the blender with milk, protein powder and a raw egg for a quick breakfast the next day with a piece of toast.

That is me. Always eat the whole thing. No sharing.

I slice that end off....a very thin slice.

That's a good idea! I'd add some berries to mine.

Guilty as charged.

I do add berries Murr when I have them. This week strawberries were on sale so I sliced some up and added to the mix. Blueberries are a fav, too!

 

[bingo]

don't try...just eat the whole banana....that's why it comes with one long peel

@Pepper "Who eats only half a banana?"

Rabbit says, "I do! I'd eat a whole one but my mama won't let me!"

After I wrote that it was time for Rabbit's morning banana. Here is what it looks like after 3 days in the banana bag in the crisper of the refrigerator. I keep it wrapped in the peel. It was firm and barely any brown to it all. It was a very fresh, firm one. I find the larger ones seem to last longer than small ones.
