Jordi Cruz shares trick to keep bananas fresh longer
Original: jordi cruz más
Spanish chef Jordi Cruz, best known for leading the three-Michelin-starred restaurant ABaC in Barcelona, is drawing attention for a simple kitchen tip: wrapping the stem of a bunch of bananas in plastic film. According to Cruz, covering the peduncle slows the release of ethylene gas, the compound that ripens fruit, so bananas last considerably longer before going soft. The advice, picked up by lifestyle outlet Cuerpomente, has struck a chord with home cooks looking to cut food waste.
Why now: A celebrity chef's practical, low-cost food storage tip is circulating widely among home cooks.
