Interesting. I don't consider bananas that sweet. Delicious, yes. Sweet? Not so much.

You're not eating high quality bananas and/or ones that aren't ripe. If the fruit you're eating aint sweet, there's hardly any nutrition in it. The ripeness of a banana is determined by the amount of sugar in it: the more starch has turned into sugar, the more ripe it is. The organic bananas that I ripen until they're spotted like a cheetah are super SUGARY sweet like they should be.

Yeah I made sure to get ones that were right on the precipice of ripeness, so then a day later I had a good cheetah spotted one, and I can use them as they become sufficiently spotted for ultimate goodness.

Because I heard among other things, it helps prevent cancer and such... so why not.

Don't know if that's true but I heard it on the internet.

Unless you don't have any other near-ripe bananas on hand, it doesn't really matter what ripeness they are when you buy them, since they're always going to be picked and shipped when they're green. If you want high quality tree-ripened fruit, farmers markets are better, but going to a U-Pick farm or just growing it yourself is the ultimate.

A high carb, low fat fruitarian diet can not only prevent cancer; it can reverse it! Look up the 80/10/10 diet.

you can put bananas in a paper bag to help them ripen quicker.

I was always told bananas would go bad if you put them in the fridge, but I hate seeing them spawn fruit flies just sitting on the counter.

So once and for all, fridge bad for banana health == fact or myth?

Yeah, but only if you put some kind of ripe fruit in the bag with it. Most people I know use apples for that trick. Fruit gives off the gas ethylene. The more ethylene a fruit is exposed to, the quicker the fruit will ripen. For example, a large bunch of bananas will ripen at a quicker rate compared to bananas individually separated...

the fact of the matter on bananas is that if they are spoiling before you can eat them, you arent eating them fast enough. bananas are so essential. they bananas. fulla magnesium which i especially need, because it helps your hearing.

Some fruits work better inside the fridge after they're ripe, some better outside.. It really depends. Google it if you really wanna know which ones. But yeah, I've found that bananas don't do well at all in the fridge. The skin turns black and they don't taste good at all. If I've got too many bananas that are ripening, I'll just peel em, break em up and freeze em to make smoothies and banana ice cream later.

I pretty much leave all of my fruit outside my fridge to let em ripen. Tomatoes for instance actually do better out of the fridge. The only ones I really refrigerate after they're ripe are avocados. The ripening process gets slowed down quite a bit with those when they're in the fridge! Oh and mangos too. Ripe mangos...

Was going down the wiki rabbit hole and ran across this gaming device called a Novint Falcon

Been out for a few years but this is the first I've heard of it



I'm kind of intrigued. Anyone ever use one of these things?

Just wanted to pop in here and say all of you are amazing and cool duders and duderets, running off a maiden high like no other and my appreciation of all things good just keeps getting greater, i love you all and everything within this place we call theshizz

[mrtame]

Ripe avocados let off a gas that helPs bananas ripen quicker when placed together. Also there is an uncurable bacteria strain that is now attacking the current type of bananas that 90% of the world eats so we're going to be eating a totally different banana in the next 20 years. A different strain of this bacteria is what killed off the worls previous top banana.

I actually eat incredible bananas and I love them, I just don't find them insanely sweet.

banana ice cream

Best thing ever. I've got a bag of bananas browning on top of my fridge right now that will ultimately become banana whip. Anyone have any tips for making this? I usually wait until they're brown and then chop them into quarters and freeze them. Then I just blend them and consume. Don't know if there is any better way to improve on that method.

precipice of ripeness

This is a great phrase.
