How ripe do you like your bananas?

Personally I prefer them when they’re just starting to brown since they’re not hard but not super mushy either.

Green 24
Pure yellow 23
Yellow with a couple brown spots 15
Yellow with a lot of brown spots 4
More brown than yellow 1

        The overripe, and sweet bananas get the less appetizing they are for me. Old bananas kinda make me gag.

    Over here (Thailand) you slice up green bananas and put them in the stews and soups. I don't really like yellow bananas to eat as a fruit, don't like fruit too much, too sweet fo me.

    I prefer when they're yellow and not too mushy.

      Yes, firm and yellow unless I'm baking with them, then I need them brown

        What other things do you bake besides banana bread? I used to cook with bananas as a substitute of eggs (purely for convenience not for dislike of eggs)

    I will eat them in pretty much any state, so long as they aren't rock hard or turning rotten. Green, yellow or brown is fine with me.

    I voted green, but more like a greenish yellow. I don't like them too mushy, it grosses me out. Too green makes my mouth feel funny.

    • Bananas release a gas which ripens fruit fast, the most out of any fruit I think

    I absolutely hate bananas and hope they go extinct soon. I am glad that they are already at risk :D
