Everything lasts longer in the freezer - best by and expiry dates are completely irrelevant in that case.....but now you're taking up cubic inches of space and using energy. The producers often don't - because of those two reasons - and whatever amount of days you have left till it expires you will have fewer than that once you thaw it - and that..is just accepting the loss in quality from freezing it.
Bananas are a modern miracle. Your green bananas have already been in a bag for 12 weeks before they're harvested. They get harvested once a week, on average, and then processed in a cold bath. Then they're hand loaded into boxes, and those boxes are loaded onto a reefer. Those are shipped all over the world, thousands of miles in some cases. When they get wherever they're going they're unloaded into ripening storage where they sit for up to a week to turn yellow. Then....they make it to store shelves.
Stone green bananas, like stone green tomatoes, are one harvest and distribution strategy.
