Brown bananas are the best bananas and it’s not even a competition

If I were to ask you to picture the “perfect banana”, what would you say? Is it this?

Or this?

Or maybe even this?

But no, alas, the best bananas are by far the brownest bananas, and it’s not even close.

And I’m not talking about a spot or two. I’m talking about a full on, brown-ass banana. Ooooh say less. Many people will toss out their bananas when they get this brown, and I seriously don’t get it. Brown bananas are the easiest to peel, taste by far the best and absolutely melt in your mouth in an explosion of ripe, banana deliciousness.

Bananas shouldn’t be that hard to chew, and with a yellow (or God-forbid, grotesque, green banana) you have to chew and gnaw like a farm animal in order to even get down a starchy, gross mess of a fruit.

But with an oh so sweet brown banana, the fruity gooyness just melts down as soon as it hits your tongue. It’s almost like eating a beautiful banana pudding right then and there. And who doesn’t want it to feel like you’re eating dessert when you’re getting your daily dose of fruit. And don’t forget to refrigerate your brown bananas for that extra hit of coolness that’ll really turn your “healthy snack” into tasting like a sweet dessert.

Yellow and green bananas are so tough and aren’t even enjoyable. They taste like you’re eating plantains straight out of the field. Leave your bananas out for a few days past when you normally would and just let the magic happen. Before you throw it out, eat a brown banana. You’ll be glad you did.
