A banana a day keeps the doctor away!

The only thing is.. I really like new bananas only.. when they are sort of greenish.. am I the only one? My friends think I'm crazy but after they go pretty yellow (after 2-3 days).. they're not my cup of tea really..

You are definitely not the only one. I have always preferred the unripe taste of green bananas. :P
 
ah I tried a green banana and hated it, i have to have it yellow. that article is very interesting. i wonder if an apple is still as good to have every day?

My bananas need to be just ripened but still firm. There's that one day when they're perfectly edible and after that I always throw out the slightly soft ones or bake banana bread or cakes. My mom hates me to waste bananas.

yeah.. slightly green for me.. there's like that one day when they're just perfect.. yumm.. then afterwards.. its sort of like slop... well for me at least.. I remember once I stored a banana in my bagpack.. and when i reached in to grab it.. all I found was the peel.. my bag had banana all over :cry:
 
where i'm from, we take green bananas, cut of the skin, and steam them. and then we put a sauce on top of them. tastes good. I can't eat slightly green bananas, they leave a chalky feeling in my mouth...:yuk:
 
I love bananas...had one this morning. I like them when they are yellow and very ripe...
 
mmm bananas. I like the greenish ones too. I also LOVE baby bananas. they're just a little bit sweeter.
 
I LOVE the little bananas... I tried eating one green though because I thought it would be better since I like the large ones green.. not a good idea.. the baby bananas are best when really ripe.. I love the baby ones more actually..

I thought bananas have a high glycemic index?

They do, but that doesn't mean you should rule it out of your diet. :smile: Potatoes have a high glycemic index, as well, but those are good for you once in a while. It's all about moderation. :flower:
 
I have one on my desk right now that got spots overnight. I hate how they get a really strong flavor. If its too ripe i get a stomachache.:sick:
 
i eat bananas almost every day, but sadly i've heard the potassium attracts mosquitos, and i sure get tons of mosquito bites. but i've also heard that bananas stop butterflies in the stomach.
 
:chef: I like bananas with vanilla wafers and peanut butter or with ice cream and chocolate syrup.
