I personally prefer a 9 or 10, and would rather an 11 than an 8
Good graphic. 7 or 8 for me. In the teens for banana nut bread.
Oh nice! Mine is 4 or 5. 3 or 6-9 is acceptable, 10 if I'm starving, >11 if I'm about to die; otherwise it's being composted. *Sometimes I put 'overripe' bananas in the freezer to make banana bread in the future, but I stopped doing this because I don't like kidding myself.
Wait for a 16. Take a metal straw. Punch through. Drink the goodness inside. Pro tip: If it doesn't flow well knead it a bit.
Thanks for listening to my TED ed talk.
I prefer around 9-10, once they get get to the 12+ stage they go in the freezer ready for banana ice cream or baking.
6 - 10 anything riper goes in the freezer and becomes banana muffins later. I'm amazed anyone likes green banana.
I prefer an 8, but would also do 7 or 9. Anything less is too firm for me, and the taste is oddly sour, anything larger is way to soft and way too fucking sweet, like, to the point that it just tastes awful.
1-7 would be ideal banana. 8 is ok ish. 9 and 10 would have to be really pushing it. Anything beyond 10 is only useful for getting mashed up to cook banana bread or pancakes with.
1-4 inedible 5-6 a bit starchy but good 7-10 they’re my wife’s now 11+ time for banana bread
(i’m not sure i like bananas all that much)
Useful pic! 6 or 7 look perfect to me. When they start to get the stupid little stringy bits due to softness they're no longer enjoyable for me on their own. Those go to the trash, or used in baking.
9-13 looks good to me. Below is green, above looks like the insides are getting too much brown already.
Non existent. I do not recognise this object as food.
Hmm. This doesn’t sound like the reply I’d expect out of an opportunistic bottom-feeder. Sure you’re a catfish?
You tell me little dog
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
I think they're a bit tangy when green and don't like them that way. I prefer full on yellow, perhaps with a smidge of browning.
I get that. I like the tang, they're a bit too sweet for me when they're too ripe.
Same here. Also, the greener the banana is, the more resistant starch it has, which is good for your microbiome
I prefer mine with freckles.
Oh, stop it. You're gonna make me blush 🥰
Yellowish green. Fiber, sweetness and not a choking hazard.
Barely no longer green
This is the correct answer!
All you "Extra ripe" mofos terrify me,
Isn't it like eating sweet gooey, undercooked eggs or something...
gag
Yellow with freckles. Green is too starchy and weird tasting to me. I like a ripe banana.
Love a 50/50 green yellow banana. When they have a good snap and that green taste? Yummm
3-4 for me.
I'd say 6.5. I like to see a few brown spots but 7 is verging on too far. I'd happily eat any of 5-7.
7 is where thr real taste of banana begins. Pre-7 on your so called chart is not even ripe bennana. Bannana is good until it is dirt. The mold gives good flavor, like cheese. To think that so many individuals could be out of the loop of real banana eating. What horrible ignorance of man.
7 is where my wife starts making banana bread, o so I don't mind.
For eating, when they have significant brown spots on them. For baking or banana-yoghurt when they are completely brown.
Also obligatory: How Brown has a banana to be, to be Bad?
yellow for eating directly, brown for banana bread.
Between no Green and no brown. So that narrows it down to about 15 minutes. I prefer a bit of brown to a bit of Green
Absolutly none. Can't stand bananas. Need to wash my hands after peeling them for my kids when they were young.
Think it's the weird texture.
And also the awful flavour.
Firm, slightly green still.
Yellow, fully ripe bananas, are high in fructans which for me and many others, cause digestion issues, discomfort, and that lingering taste/feeling.

Spotty or oozing, which is just right for banana bread.
This is the only right answer. These green banana eating monsters are clearly deranged.
A decent amount of green, there's like a one or two day window where it's possible to peel them normally without the peel snapping, but where there's still a little bit of the underripe sourness to them
Yellow with freckles on the peel
Do plantains count? If so may I introduce you to the illustrious jibarito
I dont know when in the lifecycle of a banana this happens, but after they transformed into banana ice cream
still be a bit green, and starting to yellow.
Same. Bananas, avocados, and artichokes all get this weird but similar taste when they get ripe beyond the point I can enjoy them. Idk what it is exactly or even how to describe the taste, but some people seem to either not notice a difference or actively be seeking it out.
Most ready made guacamole always seems to have that same flavor. Honestly not sure if there's even a name for it, but it almost makes me gag.
Browned and then mashed and then made into banana bread
Usually the one they were yesterday.
