Our take on the Banana - each

A single banana, sold by the piece. It is a ripe-eating fruit with a creamy texture and natural sweetness, useful for snacking, slicing into cereal or yogurt, and baking. Compared with other fresh fruit it needs no preparation beyond peeling, though it bruises easily and ripens fast once yellow.

Questions and answers

How ripe is a single banana when it arrives?

Expect a yellow banana that is ready to eat, sometimes with a little green at the tips. Ripeness varies by batch, so a greener one may need a day or two on the counter.

How should I store it?

Keep it at room temperature away from direct sun. Refrigerate only once it is as ripe as you like; the skin darkens but the flesh stays firm longer.

Can I use an overripe banana?

Yes. Brown-speckled bananas are sweeter and softer, which suits banana bread, muffins and smoothies better than eating fresh.

Is one banana enough for baking?

Most banana bread recipes call for two to three mashed bananas, so one piece is usually a snack rather than a baking batch.

Is it a good choice for a lunchbox?

Yes, it travels well if packed on top so it does not get crushed. Peel it just before eating to avoid browning.
