Product Description

Keep yoour bananas fresher for longer with Nana Hats

As Seen On Shark Tank

Nana Hats - As seen on shark tank
silicone cap on bananas

The Science

Bananas produce a natural ripening agent, ethylene gas, as they begin to ripen.

By securing our patent pending, BPA-free silicone cap to the crown of your banana bunch, you are helping to inhibit the absorption of the ethylene gas, thus slowing the ripening process.

We Just Want the World to Peel Good.

Style Your Nanas

Nana Hats are magnetically attached and easily interchangeable. This means that you can simply swap hats whenever you like!

Keep Bananas Fresher Longer!

Because nobody likes a mushy banana

Adorable but difficult to use
We buy 6-12 bananas per week (delivered to the house so we don't necessarily pick them ourselves) and I thought this would be a good idea. It worked well for a few days but no one mentioned on Shark Tank that these ones with the hats only fit 2-3 bananas at a time. So my spiral fruit holder (that I dearly love) is wearing one hat and I've got a split apart regular size. I thought of buying a large one that comes without a hat but at the price I thought is this a want or a need?

    I can't believe how well these hats preserve my bananas...even after they've been separated. in my photo, the two bananas are seperated and the hat still fit perfectly. the bandanas are about a week old and as you can see, this hat kept them fresh! and it's adorable!

    This product was not worth the money I spent on it. It did not extend the life of my bananas with Nana hat they started to brown the same time my other bananas on the counter that didn’t have Nana hat on them. I would not purchase.

    Bought the Viking hat as a Christmas stocking stuffer for my fiancé and he loves it! The only downside is that it can only cover at most 2 bananas. But if nothing else, it makes us smile every time we see this little hat in our fruit bowl. You can also use it as a finger puppet which I often do because why not get multiple uses out of it? Who knew such a small thing could bring so much joy?!

    I love the idea and the hats are so cute. Unfortunately they don’t stay on the bananas if you have more than 3 in your bunch. The silicone is too tight and pops off. It can be fun to see the hat flying across the room but gets irritating when you’ve put it on the bananas repeatedly. Was not worth it. I’m now covering the stem with tin foil and it stays on.

    The Nana hat works great to keep our bananas from ripening too fast. It only works on bunches of 5 or less...on a big bunch it pops off and flies off the counter. Where my dog found it and chewed it up. Not completely chewed up, just looks a little sad.

    I was not sure about the effectiveness of this product at first, but it seems to be keeping my bananas fresh longer then the ones I don't have covered. Inexpensive gift that will be one of my goto's for stocking stuffers this year!

    I was expecting it to fit over a bunch of bananas, not one or two. It did prolong the life of the banana by another day, but not enough to recommend it.

    I don't know if covering the tops of bananas really helps, but we've been going through too much tin foil covering them up, so I got this. Does the same thing and is super cute
