The most hands-off method is, once the fruit is ripened to your preference, simply place the whole bananas in your refrigerator where the temperature is well below 57 degrees. The peel might still turn brown or black, but it is simply a change in the peel's pigment. The actual fruit itself inside the peel should still taste fine and sport a good texture (via Today).

Does that mean that Chiquita lied to me when they said

"But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator"
