Bananas are kept on a hook above other fruit because they give off a gas that over-ripens other fruit (and kills flowers)

They all give off that gas and bananas give off less of the gas not more. You put other fruit with them to make them ripen faster.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Some fruits do give off more, however, bananas are larger and often in bunches which adds up the amount you're exposing to your other fruit.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not so much larger as more surface area and they ripen much faster than other fruits so they start giving off gas sooner. Then it snowballs.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I didn't know that.
