Opening never extends a date: if the packet date comes sooner, go by that. Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean
Bananas keep for 5 days in the cupboard, counted from when you buy them. That's SnapLarder's estimate for bananas in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.
How long do bananas last once cut?
3 days. Check the label, too: some products need to go in the fridge once opened.
Can you freeze bananas?
Yes. Bananas keep for about 8 months in the freezer. Freeze them before the date on the packet, defrost them in the fridge, and use them within 2 days of thawing.
