Preparation Tips
Bananas can be eaten fresh as a snack, added to smoothies, or used in baking. For the best flavor, choose bananas based on when you plan to eat them - yellow with brown spots for immediate consumption, or greener for later use. Store at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to slow further ripening if needed.
