    Unless you are making banana bread, in which case overripe is best. My banana bread is top-notch. The secret is to sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar on top before baking. It caramelizes and makes it into a heavenly treat.

    Even an overripe banana is better than most things people might reach for instead. Don’t stress about banana ripeness - pass on the cookie and eat whatever banana you like.

    How do people eat these when green?

    I read they have some form of fibre only when green, but I can’t stand that fuzzy hard feeling of biting into a green banana.

    I’m guessing the terms “lowest/highest” are expressing a relatively minor difference, no?

    Without numbers this just feels like a shame campaign and makes me wasn’t to avoid bananas if anything.

      You eat brown bananas?! HAHAHAHA! I’d rather swim in coca cola.

      No but seriously, I used to put bananas in the fridge and eat them a week later completely black.

        Yeah i like them ripe but i don’t worry much about bruising. Fully dark does put me off a bit though 🤣

    Guess I’m not getting any fiber then, since green bananas are disgusting 🤢

    They taste best when then get a few brown spots

      I was just thinking about how weird it is that,as far as I can think of, bananas are the only food I still eat when it starts changing colors while sitting out on my counter.
