Bananas Ripening

bananas-4589644

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 🙂
