Keeping bananas fresh can be a challenge - put the bananas in the fridge and they go black; keep them in the open air, again they go black and very quickly. Not with this simple drawstring bag. Put the bananas in, slide the closure ball to close the bag, pop them in the fridge and Mum will love the fact that this much-loved fruit will stay fresh for up to two weeks or more, reducing wastage and saving money.
