I usually slice bananas and eat it mixed in with Kashi cereal, so I’m definitely going to start doing this.

Can you buy any green banana or does it have to say organic? I have bought green bananas in the past and I can never get them to ripen. They sit in a fruit bowl with other fruits.

I love the greener bananas anyway, great to know!

I did not know this, and will start buying them green from the organic store….I guess you learn something new everyday…Thanks

I wish we had somewhere around us where we could buy organic.Our choices are so limited here.

So the other day I bought some Organic Bananas from the health food store they actually remains green while they were ripe. In the regular grocery store they must spray a ton of chemicals to make the bananas look yellow. My mother sat an grocery store banana next to the organic ones and the next day there were spots on that side of the banana isn’t that interesting? I’m only buying organic from now on.

While training for marathons I try to eat one banana a day. My wife and I will start buying more green bananas.

I always buy the green bananas because they are fresher, i never knew that they had been forced to ripen. I hate that our foods get messed around with and we don’t even realize it.

I purchase enough bananas to last for one week when I shop. I make sure I have various stages of “ripeness” to keep everyone happy. Little did I realize the green bananas were the best of all! I will be more conscious from now on when I shop for bananas.

I am new at this organic thing I am curious to know where can I purchase organic bananas?

We buy green bananas as a matter of principal. Plus they ripen more slowly so we end up with less banana bread bananas at the end of the week.

I only eat “still green on the ends” bananas out of hand. As soon as they start to get spots…they get set aside and then frozen for baking or smoothies.

I always buy organic bananas, I think they taste better then the conventional bananas..anyways I always buy small unripe bananas. Just put them in the fruit basket on the counter top and in two days they will ripen..love it!

I definitely prefer the organic bananas and always buy mine green. I hate an over-ripe banana. Also learned that instead of peeling back at the stem, if you pinch the other end, the banana peel pulls right apart! My new favorite trick.

I always buy green bananas. I can’t stand an over ripe banana and by buying them green I have more time to enjoy them by ripening them at home.

I’ve always bought green bananas, because I like the taste of them better. Once they reach the ‘speckled’ stage, they’re just TOO ripe for me. Nice to know now that green is actually better!

I have started buying organic bananas. Maybe they taste a bit sweeter or am I imagining this? I’ll keep at it until I decide.

I ALWAYS but green bananas, I like to ripen them myself

I BUY ONLY GREEN ORGANIC BANANAS AND RIPEN THEM AT HOME. This way they don’t get overripe and taste better. I didn’t know about the gas used but certainly don’t want to ingest the effects of it. This has worked well for my family.

I have bought green bananas regularly for years and have ripened them at home because bananas have always been a daily food for all in my family. By doing this none have gotten to the overripe stage.

I am definitely going to try this. I have noticed that I get bad stomach aches when I eat Dole Bananas, i began to think i was allergic but when i tried Chiquita i did not get a stomachache it must be chemicals. I am definitely going to try organic green bananas.

For the past 3-4 months I have been purchasing organic bananas. They are very green when you purchase at the grocery but they have an amazing flavor when ripened naturally. I have read that the chemicals that non-organic bananas are treated with are absorbed into the skin of the fruit and transfered to the edible portion. My family loves bananas and we eat a bunch each week so I made the choice to go organic and I am glad that we did.
