- Choose bananas that are ripe but not too much. Bananas still slightly green are best, as they’re easier to transport and will last longer on your counter.
- Look for bunches of uniform yellow-skinned bananas without any brown spots or bruises. When buying banana bunches, select those that are heavy for their size.
- If you’re buying individual bananas, check for any signs of rot or mold. Avoid buying bananas with many brown spots, as these may be overripe and won’t last as long.
- Check the stem at the end of the banana, as this will indicate the ripeness of the fruit. A yellow-green stem indicates a ripe banana, while a completely green stem indicates an unripe banana.
