👁 What to Look For
Color & appearanceBright yellow with slight green at tips = eat in 2-3 days. All yellow = eat today or tomorrow. Brown spots = very sweet, eat today. Green = 4-6 days away.
Feel & firmnessShould feel firm throughout. No soft spots or bruising. The peel should be smooth and tight.
Stem checkCheck the stem end — if it's broken or very dark, the banana may be bruised internally even if the skin looks fine.
