You need to eat bananas when they have spots on them and no green on the stem. That's when they have the least starch and taste the most sweet! :)

@justpeachiex I've found that when to eat a banana is a very different choice depending on who you are. Some like them with lots of spots (I did when I was a kid) others like them with some green. I find myself somewhere in the middle. Glad to hear how you like them and the benefits of waiting. Thanks for watching!

@RVO174 They've been improperly trained to like unripe bananas. Ripe digests MUCH easier, has 10x the amount of cancer fighting properties, as well as many more phytonutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Like i said, Spotty with no green on the stem :)

Nice tip about the refrigeration btw!!

@justpeachiex Yes, you make great points about the benefits of eating bananas at their proper ripening stage. Unfortunately taste buds get in the way of everyone eating them at the same stage but perhaps informed parents can learn a little something and feed their kids properly ripened bananas to get the most benefit from them. Of course free will might just win out;)

Good information, thanks for that and the refridge tip is pretty cool, I've used it several times. Take care.

Hehe great ending, thanks for the tip!

[RVO174]

Thanks, the end was a little messy and painful but worth the humor or maybe you mean the elevator part, that was just fun:)

[skydragonl]

Hehe both were funny :D

Great point! Make bread with those overripe bananas! I used to have people come into the store and ask me for old ones specifically for that reason.

Thanks for the comment!!
