Bananas are best eaten fresh but can also be refrigerated after peeling for up to 2 days to keep them fresh.
If you want to avoid the strings, try peeling slowly and removing them gently to keep the fruit intact.
Use peeled bananas in smoothies or desserts where the strings are less noticeable.

Some banana varieties have fewer strings than others, so trying different types may reduce this issue.
