Notes
Here are some helpful tips on how to best use your Banana-Saving Hats!
- These hats are most effective on banana bunches of 2+.
- If possible, keep your bananas separated from any other ripening fruit.
- When you apply the hat, it is really important to make sure to pull the silicone cap as far down the crown of the banana bundle as possible. It should feel quite snug and secure on top of the banana crown.

They are cute. I know in theory they work.
I bought these as a gifts. They loved them. When I returned for myself, they were all gone, no indication either way of returning. Information like that is important to me. Actually, many things were out of stock when I returned to purchase several items. Many others were no longer on sale. :-(

Fun
These were a stocking gift for my husband who is the one who enjoys bananas. He laughed and loved them. He still chuckles when he looks at them on the bananas. I may purchase again for 7 year old twins!

Nana Hats kept bananas fresh 4 days longer!
First - these Nana Hats are totally adorable. I bought the Unicorn & Viking set. Second - I put a Nana Hat on a 3-banana bunch and sat them on the counter next to a single banana bought the same day (and a similar ripeness). 4 days later, the single one needed to be eaten or it would be over ripe while the Nana Hat bunch were only slightly more ripe than when I bought them. The Nana Hats were well worth the price and a smile on the kitchen counter is always a good thing. #sweepstakes

So cute and fun but not effective.
I love these little guys and they make me smile. Unfortunately, they did not help keep bananas fresh. I tested a bunch - 3 with a hat and 3 without. Both went brown at the same time actually the bananas without the hat were better.

Cute and They Work
Nothing will prevent a banana from overripening indefinitely, but these do slow the process. And they are cute in the process. As the cap is stretched in the process it can rip over time, but they work well enough that we reordered replacements.

They really work!
This is a great "freshness hack" for bananas. We had a little problem with one of the interior liners ripping just a few weeks after we got them, but it was quickly replaced by the vendor. We haven't had any problems since then. If that hadn't happened, this would have been a 5-star review. We use them every day.

Cute, but not durable for the price!
I bought several of these as stocking stuffers this past Christmas (2023). Everyone thought they were cute and we all mixed and matched our faves. The silicone cover on one of ours has already ripped. We always split the bunch of bananas before putting the silicone cover over the bananas because it only covers 2-3 bananas. Now we have a hat with no cover, which is totally useless. Not to mention how expensive they are. Not durable for the high price, and to reorder, the shipping is astronomical.
Response from merchant
Thank you for your review, we're so sorry to hear that they ripped so quickly. We haven't seen another similar review in a while which leads us to believe that they may have been defective. We'd love to get these replaced for you at no cost! We're confident that you'll have better luck with a new batch. We'll be sure to also keep an eye out and work with our team on monitoring for any other feedback on the durability going forward. We've emailed you with the info to get started on that replacement.

These banana saving hats are entirely useless.
A complete waste of money. Uncommon Goods should be ashamed.

Any chance these cuties might fit on a Shelf Elf??
Verified reply from Michelle
Hi! That is an amazing idea! The silicone insert will not, as for the knitted hat part the measurements are 1.5” L x 0.5” W x 2" H.

How large of a bunch of bananas will the silicone and knit caps easily fit - 6 or 8 bananas?
Verified reply from Allison
4 or 5 work best!
