Can banana fumes damage other fruit if placed in same bag?

Bananas release ethylene gas, which is a natural ripening agent. This gas can cause other fruits in the same bag to ripen more quickly, and in some cases, it can even damage the fruit.

Some fruits that are particularly sensitive to ethylene gas include:

- Apples

- Avocados

- Cantaloupes

- Peaches

- Plums

If you plan to store bananas with other fruits, it is best to place them in a separate bag. This will help to prevent the bananas from damaging the other fruits.
