How ripe do you like your bananas to be?

[Babygirl_S]

I like solid yellow because of its sweeter taste.

[katiesmuff]

The solid yellow skin is when I try to eat them but they only stay in that stage for a short time. If you bought them one at a time as you are ready to eat it would be easy to pick that bright yellow perfect banana, but as we buy by the bunch and they all ripen at the same pace so if they are yellow today, by tomorrow spots are beginning to show

Ripe if i just eat them like that
Very ripe if i put them in my outmeal or smoothies
Over ripe if i make them into banana bread or banana chiffon

[Pudsmucker]

I love bananas but I like it at mid-range. Anything before is downright green and nasty and bitter tasting. Anything below the mid-range is to ripe and the only good thing about it is it can make some delicious banana bread.

Underripe - I’ll wait
Barely ripe - great
Ripe - good
Very ripe - not too late for banana bread
Overripe - trash

Obviously the riper the better because the sugar has developed by then. Therefor, the color of the skin may look brown and gross, but it is delicious.

Barely ripe to ripe. I use the very ripe as sweetener and flavour enhancer for my pancakes/waffles or cakes. I like anything banana 🍌 for breakfast

[dustybiker]

They usually shoot through those stages pretty quick. It seems you get one good one. Several really ripe and a couple I turn into a family fav of banana fritters.

Barely ripe and ripe if I'm eating it plain. I like it overripe when I'm frying it and way Overripe when I'm going to use it for banana bread or banana ice cream.

[Apple1996]

High fiber/low sugar. Sometimes ripe but I'm not a fan of the sweetness of ripe bananas

[JustAnj]

Barely Ripe love both textures not to soft and somewhat banana flavor just not to sweet tasting. :)

[BlueScorpio]

Very ripe, the more spots it has the sweeter the banana is.🍌

[LazerBean]

For straight eating, barely ripe or ripe. Anything passed right gets turned into banana bread.

[AndrésC64]

Ripe to maybe slightly overripe. I don't like them when they're hard or when they're gushy. I like a nice firm sweet banana. 😁

[Havthrills]

I like ripe to very ripe. Overripe for banana bread.

[Jenny-Marie]

Definitely the 2 centre examples. I'm not keen on green but the overripe is good for banana loaf.

[BlackElph]

I like ripe and very ripe. Overripe is good for baking
