so I'm here making my smoothie and I just thought I'd share something with you because these bananas as you can see if they are spotty and spotty bananas when it comes to the cabinet variety at least usually means that they're ripe and these are ripe as in they're edible now but they're not fully ripe and if the interesting thing is that sometimes the bananas will actually be quite ripe but not very spotty and the way I know the right is because they're soft and a couple of other signs whereas these bananas are spotty but they're not fully ripe so when you go when you look for ripe bananas don't just look for spotty bananas basically I'll show you something interesting here so these are spotty but first of all they are stuck here to the whatever I want to call that there's they're pretty stuck which means they're not fully ripe when bananas are fully ripe they're very easy to just take off they just go off by themselves without any sound usually and not there but actually here in the in the sort of connection between the banana understand secondly I can feel the banana and it's quite firm like it's almost hard which again tells me that it's not fully ripe a ripe banana should be quite soft to touch while also being spotted and the last tip is that when I open it now you can hear sound like this know if you can hear it but there's the sound when you have a perfectly ripe banana and you peel it it's just it's just silent because the skin has gone so soft that it's just just comes off super easily and of course if it's overripe it comes off even easier which is another thing to look out for so you want to just write and you have to learn by experience really but yeah I just wanted to share that so looks pretty ripe it's yellow it's got the spots but it's quite hard quite quite sound when I pull off the ski but you know this is edible there's there's different levels to ripeness and this is definitely in my book this is the lowest level of acceptable ripeness that I'm willing to eat so that's fine it's going into the smoothie and it will be fine for later tomorrow these bananas will probably be perfect the day after it'll be still pretty perfect and the day after that they might be a little bit overripe but still edible anyway just a quick banana tip there if you want to learn more about bananas and ripening them storing them what does the ripe banana to look like all that stuff you can check out our new ebook about bananas so be sure to click this link to check out that book full of tips for people in a row being that or people just eating a lot of fruit or anyone in the world really how to increase your banana intake what to look for how to buy banana store them transport and all that stuff so be sure to check that out to get educated and keep eating your bananas see you around
