Oh nice! Mine is 4 or 5. 3 or 6-9 is acceptable, 10 if I’m starving, >11 if I’m about to die; otherwise it’s being composted. *Sometimes I put ‘overripe’ bananas in the freezer to make banana bread in the future, but I stopped doing this because I don’t like kidding myself.
I prefer an 8, but would also do 7 or 9. Anything less is too firm for me, and the taste is oddly sour, anything larger is way to soft and way too fucking sweet, like, to the point that it just tastes awful.
Useful pic! 6 or 7 look perfect to me. When they start to get the stupid little stringy bits due to softness they’re no longer enjoyable for me on their own. Those go to the trash, or used in baking.
1-7 would be ideal banana. 8 is ok ish. 9 and 10 would have to be really pushing it. Anything beyond 10 is only useful for getting mashed up to cook banana bread or pancakes with.
I personally prefer a 9 or 10, and would rather an 11 than an 8
Good graphic. 7 or 8 for me. In the teens for banana nut bread.
I prefer around 9-10, once they get get to the 12+ stage they go in the freezer ready for banana ice cream or baking.

Wait for a 16.<BR> Take a metal straw.<BR> Punch through.<BR> Drink the goodness inside.<BR> Pro tip: If it doesn’t flow well knead it a bit.
Thanks for listening to my TED ed talk.
4, 5, or 6 for me please.
My man!
6 - 10 anything riper goes in the freezer and becomes banana muffins later. I’m amazed anyone likes green banana.

1-4 inedible 5-6 a bit starchy but good 7-10 they’re my wife’s now 11+ time for banana bread
(i’m not sure i like bananas all that much)
9 to 14
9-13 looks good to me. Below is green, above looks like the insides are getting too much brown already.

9 ± 2, 3 if I’m hungry.

lol, I was just thinking that I’d happily eat anything 9+, but 8 is still okayish.
Love this. Although, tbh the first 5 could be from the same bunch!
8-10 for me. When they’re green at all they taste weird and are too firm, but to each their own I guess.
8 to 10 is ideal. Below 5 or 6 is not ripe. Above 10 is banana bread territory.
Correct.
Amazing, a banana scale!
My ideal type would be 8.5 . But I’m happy with 7 - 10.
Completely agree!
