    This is going to unintentionally cause the extinction of banana bread.

      Reading the article it seems like it just stops a peeled banana going brown if you don’t eat it straight away, rather than stopping them overripen.

    the bananas have the same taste and texture but stay “fresh, yellow and appetising long after peeling and slicing”.

    It’s easy to keep the same taste when there’s no taste to begin with (Cavendish)
