Bananas Ripening

Posted by on Jan 15, 2009 | 4 Comments | Print This Print This | | Email This Email This

This is how we hang bananas bought green, so that they can ripen without developing soft spots from resting on a surface :) You will know that the banana is ripe when it starts getting spots. I’ve noticed the bananas (and mangoes) in US supermarkets are usually still quite underripe. If it’s not got a good smattering of spots, it’s not ready :)

    That’s a good idea. We usually leave them on the counter and sometimes they get covered by something. Next thing you know there’s fruit flies buzzing and wet, mushy, rotted banana mess on the counter.
