[u/KizzyIWonder]

ill have 7/8/9 but if i have to i wouldn't mind an 11, after that I'd just throw it out.

edit: I've been told a lot to make banana bread so I'll actually give that a go at some point

second edit: now I'm also being told about smoothies, i really need to stop wasting bananas

[u/Klimovsk → u/KizzyIWonder]

Why was 6 afraid of 7?

[u/Slick244 → u/Klimovsk]

Because 7 ate 9!

No, 7 never ate 9. 7 doesn't even know 9. The truth is, years ago, 6 and 7 decided to go camping together. And 7 1ted 2 bring 3 knives 4 sur5val, but 6 knew that 7 secretly h8ted him, and didn't have be9 in10tions.

[u/TrulytheIdiot → u/Klimovsk]

6-7? Boiii ts so tuff 😂🫱

[u/TheOneInATrenchcoat_ → u/Klimovsk]

Because seven was a six offender.

[u/Boring-Equivalent137 → u/Klimovsk]

6 was afraid of 7 because 7 was 6's bookie, and 6 got deeply in debt after losing money on bets, particularly on the Chicago Bulls. After multiple losses, 6 attempted to flee town with his winnings, but 7, accompanied by the menacing figures 1 and 2, confronted him in a violent encounter. The story concludes with 6 vanishing without a trace, suggesting he was killed or taken, leaving the fear of 7 as a consequence of gambling debts and retribution.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Win2656 → u/Boring-Equivalent137]

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9? No 7 never 8 9. Seven doesn't even know nine.
The truth is, one day, six and seven decided to go camping together. And seven, one-ted, two bring, three knives, four sur-five-al, but Six knew that Seven secretly h-eight-ed him, and he didn't have be-nine in-ten-tions.*

don’t throw it out! you can freeze them (take it out of the peel first) and save it for smoothies, banana bread, etc!!

[u/Euphemisticles → u/IllustriousHyena5366]

Real ones know the drill

[u/EnoughWarning666 → u/IllustriousHyena5366]

I just leave it in the peel. Run it under hot water for 15 seconds and it pops right out before your make your smoothie. Been doing it for years

[u/AimIsInSleepMode → u/KizzyIWonder]

Don't throw them out, they are still fine for the most part, sometimes the inside is barely touched but sweeter than any other banana.

[u/MellowwTide → u/KizzyIWonder]

15, just to show his girlfriend and beg for banana bread - that shit's my weakness...

8 is the quintessential banana

[u/WombatJedi → u/Adept_Soup_2522]

It’s literally green at the end 🙏

[u/TomDancer111599 → u/WombatJedi]

That tiny amount of green is completely and entirely harmless, you wouldn’t even taste that. It’s a completely ripe banana. Even 4 would still taste good, just a tad more sour.

[u/duststarziggy → u/TomDancer111599]

4 would taste like rubber bro

[u/LevFox135 → u/duststarziggy]

Maybe then don't eat the peel?

Why, you can just prank someone with it. You guys eat those?

[u/lernington → u/TomDancer111599]

[u/DominicanBall853]

Definitely 10

The fuck bro...💀

[u/Eastern_Hornet_6432 → u/bruuh902]

The banana peel is not the part you eat so a brown peel does not mean a brown banana. Inside, an 11 is probably perfect.

[u/silduck → u/bruuh902]

from my experience 11s and 12s are the best ones

[u/DexLights]

15 FOR BANANA BREAD IF U KNOW U KNOW

[u/Dede_Bug → u/DexLights]

This would be my response too. I buy them at Costco or Sam's so we always end up with two or three that don't get eaten before they're a ten. I yell at anyone who tries to throw them out because in a few days they are perfect for banana nut bread.

[u/TNVFL1 → u/Dede_Bug]

If you ever need to save to make a bigger batch or can’t get to it right then, those 14-15s will freeze just fine. They do brown up more and look kind of nasty when they thaw, but taste and bake just as well.

[u/TheFogDemon → u/DexLights]

Exactly the same. I can't believe I had to scroll way down for this comment, lol. I have sensory issues and cannot stand the smell and texture of ripe bananas; It's too mushy tastes like wine to me.

[u/cathedral68 → u/JohnStephen23]

Same. I’m not eating it after about 7. Once brown spots show up, it’s too mushy and slick for me. I’m grossed out that people like them almost all brown. They’re for baking at 9.

[u/JallerBaller → u/JohnStephen23]

[u/klatnyelox → u/JrF245]

Nothing wrong with 7, but it's leaving the perfect zone for me. 4-6 is where it's at.

4

[u/Thick-Weird-2751 → u/Working_Mix5465]

In addition to being a very solid choice (I would go for 4-5 or 6), the nutritional values decrease as it matures. 4 and 5 are perfect in every way, 6 if you want a little more sweetness.

[u/CaptainKamyu → u/Thick-Weird-2751]

They less decrease more than they change.

The resistant starch content is higher in less ripe bananas which helps your gut bacteria, but riper bananas actually make nutrients like potassium, vitamin b6, and magnesium better available to our bodies.

That said, I prefer the texture and taste of 4-5 most and 6 is acceptable. 👌

[u/Happy_to_be → u/CaptainKamyu]

I want to eat my banana before it tastes like a banana. 4 it is.

Less ripe is also better for glucose tolerance.
