I prefer them to still be a bit green, and starting to yellow.

      Oh nice! Mine is 4 or 5. 3 or 6-9 is acceptable, 10 if I’m starving, >11 if I’m about to die; otherwise it’s being composted. *Sometimes I put ‘overripe’ bananas in the freezer to make banana bread in the future, but I stopped doing this because I don’t like kidding myself.

      Wait for a 16.<BR> Take a metal straw.<BR> Punch through.<BR> Drink the goodness inside.<BR> Pro tip: If it doesn’t flow well knead it a bit.

      Thanks for listening to my TED ed talk.

      Love this. Although, tbh the first 5 could be from the same bunch!

      8-10 for me. When they’re green at all they taste weird and are too firm, but to each their own I guess.

      1-7 would be ideal banana. 8 is ok ish. 9 and 10 would have to be really pushing it. Anything beyond 10 is only useful for getting mashed up to cook banana bread or pancakes with.
