Just beginning to get brown spots is fine, lots of brown spots is too sweet and too squishy for my taste. I can also eat them with no brown and a tiny amount of green, but prefer them about half way in between green and brown.

Green to nearly covered in brown. If they turn to goo while in my grasp, I toss them.

just read up on this because i eat so many for the potassium value. no i read that as they ripen, it increases the amount of dextrose and fructose sugars, of which the fructose (as in high fructose corn syrup, HFCS) levels go up, which contributes to joint pain. I am switching to kiwi and cantalope, which contain about 1/3 the fructose sugars.

I tried putting them in the cooler in the restaurant to extend shelf life....it works but they turn black and customers freak out. They taste fine and are not squishy they just look like they are rotten.
The ripe ones make the best milkshakes. ![]() My wife freaks about a spot on a banana. I like the ones you get in the tropics that are tree ripened.

After putting them in the fridge, they last a good bit longer. I imagine they'd last even longer if we put them in as soon as we bought them... but the peels would turn dark sooner, too.

Just had a banana for lunch.
If they don't have a little green on them then they're already too ripe for me.

I agree with DD74, though I prefer a few brown spots so that they are sweet. Any green and they are a little tart for my liking (but I will still eat them). All brown and they go in the freezer for a future loaf of banana bread.

I had a dozen banana trees when I lived in FL. They were little ones but sugar sweet. when they would fruit we made banana everything. I like em every way but green, Love em fried. Plantains are great too especially fried with brown sugar.and a little whipped cream.
