Ugh!

Don't put any fresh fruit in the fridge. It will delay the ripening
process but the skin will wilt more quickly. How many fruiterers do you
know that chill their fruit?

Fruit is best kept (and displayed) in a fruit bowl.

Bananas are best hung until ripe. They can even be eaten if the skins
are black provided that no parts of the inside have gone brown which
indicates rancidness. THey are in addition a most versatile fruit and
can be cooked as well as eaten raw. Banana fritters are, I think, my
favourite dessert.
