Keeping a banana cool, will keep it fresh longer. If you put a banana in the refrigerator, it will turn black, but the flesh will be good for about 3 or 4 days. You can take very ripe bananas, peel them, slice into circles. Lay the circles on a baking sheet and put in the freezer. After they are frozen, you can put them in a freezer bag. The banana then tastes like ice cream. You can also blend with milk to make smoothies.
Also very ripe bananas can be used to make banana bread.
