Would someone know where to get *paper* bags?

[JAG]

I use one of those padded " banana bags" ( Lazada flog them), and keep them in the fridge.

I have no desire to ripen bananas, that was the OP and he has already been advised regarding ethylene.

 

My post was not to promote bananas from Amazon but to indicate that your claim they were plantains was somewhat dubious as the picture used was being used on Amazon (and many other places I might add) to show bananas.

 

Well, it doesn't look like a banana.

Sometimes, stores will make fruit as being a banana when it turns out to actually be a plantain.

And, plantains are terrible to eat uncooked.

 

So, not sure why paper bags are still required.

But, I think they are good for packaging baked bread at the local bakery.

Maybe next time you pass by a bakery, then just buy a few paper bags.

Or, better yet...

Buy bread from the bakery, then save the bags after finishing the bread.

Not a joke. It's a side effect of the local banana scene. Sometimes, bananas not only come green, but they stay that way, even after days. I keep reading that all that is needed is a bag to place them into, however it must be of paper. But who in Pattaya would sell their food stuff in paper bags? Not anyone known to me.

 

Go to Friendship , upstairs they sell bags in different sizes. They’re meant for the small shop owners I suppose and you can buy a packet or more as you need them very cheap. I put my bananas in paper bags and hang them from my kitchen door . Keeps them great and no flies.

I would not add acetylene gas to my fruit.

I would, instead, rely on the naturally produced ETHYLENE Gas from the fruit, itself.

But I would enclose the fruit, so that I could concentrate the gas....

 

For welding purposes, however, then acetylene will be better than ethylene...
