Revolutionary Banana Bag Extends Life of Bananas
22 November 2011 - As prices tumble, the humble banana is making a comeback to lunchboxes across the nation. And now there's a revolutionary way to extend the life this precious yellow commodity, the Banana Bag.
Launched in New Zealand today, the refrigerated banana bag (RRP $9.95 from www.bananabag.co.nz) provides bananas with the exact amount of insulation and air needed to stop the flesh over-ripening, while keeping the skin warm enough to prevent it from blackening. This process can extend the life of the banana for up to two weeks.
According to Kate Bartolo, exclusive Australian & New Zealand distributor of The Banana Bag, this little yellow bag can be quite the money saver. "The warmer weather will speed up the ripening process, which traditionally leads to black and mouldy fruit being thrown away. Now with the Banana Bag it's possible to extend the life of the banana, eliminating wastage. Within no time at all the bag will have paid for itself," says Kate.
A best-selling product in the UK, the Banana bag is a brilliant Christmas stocking filler this year at just RRP $9.95. Available from www.bananabag.co.nz.
