Step 1
Mist the bananas lightly with lemon juice. The lemon juice won't affect the flavor of the banana, but will keep them from developing brown spots so quickly.

Step 2
Purchase a "banana hammock," a wooden stand with a hook that holds the bunch of bananas. This method of storing bananas keeps air circulating, helping to keep them yellow longer.

Step 3

Purchase bananas that are slightly green, and they will soon be perfectly ripe and ready to eat.
