Even an overripe banana is better than most things people might reach for instead. Don’t stress about banana ripeness - pass on the cookie and eat whatever banana you like.

Guess I’m not getting any fiber then, since green bananas are disgusting 🤢

They taste best when then get a few brown spots

I’m not eating the stem, but thanks for giving me something to feel guilty about

How do people eat these when green?

I read they have some form of fibre only when green, but I can’t stand that fuzzy hard feeling of biting into a green banana.

Somewhere between ripe and overripe for me. If I eat them, which is rarely. I usually just buy them once per season, let them get too ripe, and make banana bread / freeze for smoothies.
