How to choose ripe, non-GMO bananas: 3 useful tips
There are a lot of different bananas on store shelves, so it's hard to make a choice. SSPDaily has prepared 3 tips to help you buy ripe fruit.
The color of the peel
Look carefully at the color of the peel. Ripe bananas usually have a bright yellow peel with a slight tinge of green.
Firmness
Assess their firmness to the touch. Squeezing the banana lightly will help you determine the degree of ripeness. The ideal fruit should feel slightly soft but still firm to the touch, indicating that it is in optimal condition for consumption.
The stem
Look for bananas with intact and green stems, which indicates that they are fresh. Do not take fruit with detached or brown stems, which indicate that the fruit has already outlived its usefulness and has lost its quality. By paying attention to the condition of the stem, you can be sure that the selected bananas were harvested at the right time and have optimal taste and nutritional value.
