So, I was given these bananas last week that were green. I thought no biggie, bananas always ripen within a few days..Not! I put them in a grocery bag, as that is supposed to help them ripen. They have not! Anybody have any tips how I can get these to ripen?

I think they would have to be in a warm place to ripen.

i got curious about this and searched it online. i saw some websites saying you add an apple in the brown bag with the green banana then clip it tightly so there's no oxygen.

Put them in a warm place in a paper bag?

Well it's not too warm in here being as it is wintertime. Maybe I could put them closer to the heater.

I can guarantee you. You cannot stop them from ripening. That is the hallmark of bananas. There is very little one can do to stop the process (lol) Give it time.
