I buy mostly green bananas in two's or three's only. If they turn yellow with spots I won't eat them. I've tried freezing a couple to put in smoothies but so far they're still in the freezer. I also prefer smaller thinner bananas.
Green bananas and ripe bananas taste so completely different that they could be two different fruits.
I only like them greenish and firm. I like the texture and flavor of greenish bananas but as soon as the first spots appear the taste starts changing and becomes too sweet, and the texture gets too soft and mushy.
I only buy one or two bananas at a time because I don't like to waste food and know I won't eat them after the green is gone.
I do the exact same thing. I shop often enough that I can pick up 2 at a time and have them eaten before they go soft. I usually have a banana a day.
i gotta eat my nanners when they are bright yellow, freshly yellow. no green left at all, but not one brown spot yet either. that is my favorite time of the ripening banana phase.
same here
Although I kinda gave up bananas about 7 months ago when I discovered how many carbs is in a single banana.
I used to eat at least 1 a day.
I kinda miss them alittle ... was one of my fav morning or evening snacks with a yogurt ( gave yogurt up also for sugar and carb reasons )

But they are a good carb!
My BF eats one every morning but won't if they have any brown. He doesn't mind some green. I like them when they go right past yellow so it works for us!

Too bad they go from green to yellow in about 4.2 seconds

I don't buy them much anymore, for my potassium I indulge on avocados a lot. When I get the urge for a banana, I buy small ones and on the greenish side.
Ripened bananas, where the skins are covered with spots, contain antioxidants (including dopamine, etc) beneficial to health.
Green bananas contain resistant starch, which encourages the growth of good bacteria (a prebiotic).
Both types of bananas are good.
