Tip of the Daye: Bananas

Sexy Banana

If you have bananas that are ripening too quickly, leave them in a bunch and wrap a small piece of plastic wrap around the stems.

If you wish to speed up the process, but the bunch into a paper bag. Splitting a banana off the bunch will also encourage ripening.

• 1 TBSP cumin
