How Ripe do you Like Your Bananas?

I guess the best way to put it is in between. Not so ripe,but not with too many brown spots. if that makes any sense.

I like them when they are first going from green to yellow. I like them firm and a bit tart. I hate them when they are ripe and start to lose the firmness. Mushy and with brown spots would be time to either turn them into banana pudding or banana bread or trash can for me.

I like them like your boss. The bananas with spots are used for baking. I made muffins yesterday with some of them. I'm going to hunt for a recipe to use more of them today.

Howdy Darlene, I eat a banana every day for the potassium, but I do not like them very much. I like them with a ting of green on them and very very firm. Now when I make bread with them, I let them ripen well to the point of almost being ready to throw away. Really makes a rich bread then.

I won't eat them unless they are green. Hubby is like you, and we did read articles that they are healthier when ripe. I just cannot stand the flavor or the texture. Did you ever read the book Hawaii by James Michener. I so sympathized with the missionary's wife who was forced to eat all those bananas.

I would love my bananas to be yellow. Not green at all. That is okay with some spots. I would not like my bananas to be brown at all.

I buy my bananas when they are on the green side then I will let them set until they turn the yellow color. A few black spots doesn't bother me but I don't like them when they start to turn black and are mushy.

I don't eat bananas. I stopped eating them in 7th grade.

I want it slightly ripe...I want it hard and not too sweet
