Okay, there is one tiny catch. Do not refrigerate green bananas. They need room temperature to develop that lovely, sweet flavor. A cold green banana will never ripen properly—it will stay hard and bland.
When You Should Be Putting Bananas In The Fridge

Also, don’t crowd them. Give them some breathing room so the cold air can circulate. It’s basic banana hospitality.
