Let’s be honest — we’ve all done something slightly unhinged in the kitchen.
You see a new gadget.
You feel a spark of curiosity.
And before you know it…
You’re vacuum-sealing bananas.

Not for freezing.
Not even for science.
Just… because.
So you pop three perfectly good bananas into a bag.

The peels look bruised.
And when you finally slice it open?
Pffftttt.
A rush of air — and a smell like banana wine left in a gym bag.
So what actually happened?
Let’s dive into the science of sealed bananas — and why your kitchen just became a lab.

They’re living, breathing, ripening machines.
And one of their superpowers?
