Can you freeze Banana?
Yes. Banana keeps 2–3 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Freeze bananas once they're spotty and ripe, which is when they're at their sweetest. Always peel them first, because the skin blackens and clings tightly when frozen. Slice them or leave them whole, freeze on a tray, then bag. They keep 2–3 months. Use straight from frozen for smoothies, banana bread, or blended 'nice cream'; thawed flesh is soft and brown.
