About Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw
Bananas are one of the most widely eaten fruits on the planet, portable, naturally sweet, and ready to eat with a quick peel. The familiar yellow Cavendish grows in hanging clusters on large tropical plants in the genus Musa, ripening from green to yellow and finally to freckled brown as its starch converts to sugar and its flavor deepens. A medium banana has roughly 105 calories and is well known as a source of potassium, along with vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, and quick natural energy, making it a favorite grab-and-go snack for athletes.
Slightly green bananas are firmer and starchier, while very ripe, spotty ones are soft and sweet, ideal for banana bread, muffins, and smoothies, and they freeze well for later baking or blending. Starchier cooking varieties are usually called plantains and are fried, boiled, or roasted rather than eaten raw. Store bananas at room temperature to ripen, separate them from the bunch to slow it down, and refrigerate ripe ones to hold them a few extra days.
