7 is as low as I would ever go

>>9334719
I don't like bananas so 1-5 is all i eat, ever. They taste okay and are tart and firm. After that i find them cloyingly sweet and the texture is gross

>>9334719
I'm too colorblind to trust any banana that doesn't have spots

breakfast banana, slice onto yoghurt or crisp bread

6-9 is prime.

I like getting a big 2-3 pound bag of bananas at work when they mark them down to 99 cents a bag and using them to make milkshakes for breakfasts. I tend to use coconut milk and a bit of vanilla extract and/or cinnamon and drink it on my way to work.
They usually get marked down at the 9-12 stage.

Here's a non-blurry version of that pic, since OP is blind.

I have a 15 atm. Going to throw it in a blender with two eggs and some cinnamon and see if the mixture makes good pancakes.

for sweet things 10 as lower, can surpass 15
1 to 5 for salty food

thanks m8

I'll only eat from 10 to 15.
Above that it makes me feel bloated and my tongue uncomfortable.
Honestly never understood why western people hate ripe banana's.

>>9334759
You, me and the fruit flies are friends

>>9334719
5-10 is good as is. 1-4 is good for frying and boiling, 11-15 is banana bread and milkshake material.

>>9335102
y'know, kiddo, that appearance is usually associated by a certain taste which is, in some people's opinions, inferior to a less ripe banana's taste. you're deluding yourself and grasping for any straw to feel superior to Americans in some fantastical and irrelevant fashion.

I'm a 9-11.

I don't eat those until they are atleast 10

Anywhere between 9 and 11 is optimal, with 11 being the best. You can't wait for them all to get there though so inevitably you either have to let some go to shit and salvage them in banana bread or eat them in their subpar condition. Such is life.

You know you have a good Nana when the flesh is yellow.

I only eat 9, everything else goes straight into the trash.

>>9334719
Never if it's a Cavendish. I buy 40-pound boxes and keep my freezer full of them so I never run out. Cooking bananas I eat at any level of ripeness.

>>9336814
Doesn't freezing fuck them up?
They don't like being refrigerated, to brown after a day.

Anything lower than 9 is not ripe enough.

There should be no traces of green left anywhere on the peel.

I'd say 10-12 is my sweet spot.

>>9336818
I wait for them to be fully ripe before peeling, bagging, freezing.

>>9334719
10 is perfect
I'll go as low as 8 and as high as 13, maybe 14, in a pinch.

>EEEEK THAT BANANA IS ROTTEN THROW IT AWAY

What's the point of eating unripened fruit? 10 and above is the only time to eat otherwise there's no point.

>>9336877
It's often sold exclusively that way and many can't plan ahead enough to have it ripe when they want it.

>>9336885
When it's ripe just refrigerate it, the skin will continue to ripen but the fruit wont. Or freeze them.

>>9336893
Many can't plan ahead enough to do that.

>>9336463
Me too – I love destroying twin bananas.

>>9334719
9-10 is when the banana is actually ripe, why you would want to eat a banana that tastes green is beyond me

>>9337009
Too sweet for me. 6-9 is perfect.

I'll eat up to 12 or 13 if I have to, but if you plan your ripeness levels, you get what you want, so no problem really.

11-12

then it goes into the bread

>>9335195
Did it??

7-10 would be my zone, anything past that goes to banana bread.

>>9334719
My dad likes them green and won't eat them if there is a single brown spot on them. He also hates tomatoes. I don't really understand him.

>>9334719
banana is fucking disgusting

>>9334732
This, but I'd also throw 11 in the 8-10 and also use them for shakes.

>>9336449
>that appearance is usually associated by a certain taste which is, in some people's opinions, inferior to a less ripe banana's taste
And that's where they're wrong
Also t. 12 year old

>>9337692
but it's not. have fun eating a completely brown peeled banana and tell me it tastes exactly the same as a green peeled banana. you dullard

Have you guys left banana out for a while that the inside turned into liquid? It smelled disguisting

I won't eat a banana past 3 or 4. They get weird and mealy once they've sweetened.

Green bananas make your teeth feel mad weird though

>>9334719
green bananas have an appeal of their own

>>9334719
6-10 it's where it's at

>>9334744
Made me laugh for some reason. Thanks.

>>9334719
I can eat 6-8. 1-5 makes my throat, inner ears, and mouth swell & itch like mad. 9-15 gives me diarrhea and hives; even as banana bread.

6/7 is the perfect ban, I will eat up to 10.

>>9334732
THIS

Anything before 9 or after 12 is inedible

10-11 is perfect

>>9338266
I'm very slightly allergic to bananas as well as many other fruits. I've avoided them since I was a child because of this.

My mouth and throat gets slightly itchy and swells up a bit when I eat bananas, its relatively unnoticable but if I eat apples, shit will ruin my day. Throat, gums, and tongue will itch like hell, and my mouth will swell a bit.

>>9338376

After 12 is best for baking. In fact, the best for baking is when they turn completely black and mushy.

>>9338409
You have Oral Allergy Syndrome. I have the same.

I can eat bananas, but I can't have raw strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries. Other fruits are OK. Also, note that COOKING the fruit destroys the allergen so while you can't eat those fruits raw, you can eat them cooked in a sauce, pie, jam/jelly/preserves, etc.

15 master race

N-nani?!

>>9338947
Had a nice 10 in the counter and decided to give it a go.

My dick is too thick for a toilet paper tube, so that was out. But I did nuke the peel for 15 seconds, then waited until cooled down a bit, then used it in between my hand and my dick. Felt pretty great, like an organic fleshlight. I blew a load in the peel and threw the whole thing away.

Of course, I diced up that banana real thin, stuck it in a plastic bag, and popped it in the freezer. That's going in to a shake tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna get some more bananas at the store tomorrow.

>>9334719
9 is absolute perfection

Who the fuck eats more than 6 bananas, let alone 2 a day?

Eating a banana under 10 makes me gag....the texture is weird.

my fat fucking family eat all the bananas before they get to 4. even if i hide some in my room one of the fuckers sniffs them out and steals them.

I found that most of my allergies to veggies and fruit was to the pesticides used on them. When I either scrub the shit out of them to get it off or cook them the allergy goes away. Like apple skins make me break out, but if I scrub them with soap, water, and a plastic pot scrubber I'm fine. If I eat a raw carrot I break out, but cooking it makes it fine.

I ended up becoming a farmer. Now I can eat anything I want and it doesn't bother give me an allergic reaction at all. Then again I use compost for fertilizer and only water gets put on the plants, nothing else. I've been searching for a good hardy banana cultivar so I can have bananas from time to time and see if my reaction to them is pesticide based too.

>>9334732
1-3 good for frying up like a plaintain

I love green bananas.

>>9334719
I usually try for an 11 or 12. 13 is fine, but by the time they get to 14-15 they're starting to get slimy inside.

>>9334732
Another case of fpbp

for a fun time, poke a dry spaghetti into the end of a banana, break it off, and leave it for someone else

>They don't like being refrigerated, to brown after a day.
False.
Peel turns, but banana inside stays perfect.
The lie that bananas go bad in the fridge was actually a campaign by the banana industry to make you throw out your perfectly good bananas and buy new ones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFDOI24RRAE

Just put one in the fridge and you'll see.

>>9334719
I only eat banans at a 5. Anything else is awful.

>>9334719
Number 11 is actually the oldest banana in that photo. 12 through 15 have been artificially ripened and the banana inside is almost certainly still great. You can tell because only number 11 has actually begun to debursify (notice the thinning stem).

Also, number 1 is more ripe than number 2.

I would eat any one of the bananas in that photo, they're all perfectly fine, unarguably everything 5 and onward. And the only reason people say "ghreu" at 1-4 is due to the onion-apple phenomenon, where it simply tastes different than the flavor they expect. The banana itself is perfectly fine to eat as a food in 1-4, and the flavor is also perfectly fine if you're not a child-brained ghreu who can only accept one type of flavor of something and anything different you DECIDE must be disgusting to you.

It's the same reason many people make it to adulthood without accepting a maturing palette, sticking to their mac & cheese and chicken fingers, and say things like ew beer is icky.

What's wrong with that? As long as you're not planning on bringing them anywhere, in which case you'd want the stronger peel. If you're eating them at home, the sooner you refrigerate, the longer they will last, meaning you can buy more at a time. Only casuals buy less than 15 banans at a time.

I rarely buy bananas because there's such a small window of time where they're actually edible to me, overripe bananas make me gag. 7 looks bretty good, anything after 8 probably limited to ice cream or smoothies

>>9336877
because you like it that way? fried green tomatoes are good, if the fruit is tolerable and delicious (to you) and a good enough size, why not

>>9334732
11-15 also go well with oatmeal since it meshes with the texture and does nothing but improve flavor

>>9334719
anything under 11 makes me sick

>>9334719
3-5 is the ideal
before that it doesn't taste good
after that it's too mushy

>>9334719
5 is actually pretty nice. Put it in the fridge and its crisp.

10 or 11. Higher is fine. I'm allergic to under-ripe bananas

Apparently 13-15 tastes similar to the bananas from 50+ years ago before they went extinct.

>>9334719
up to 11 is fine you fag

4-6 is perfect though. who the hell wants a snotty banana?
