    In the US, bananas often hit the store shelves this color. They will ripen quickly over the following 3-4 days. You can decide to buy the ones that have ripened on the shelves or buy greener ones and let them ripen at home. Unripe bananas have several culinary uses, so it’s good to have this option

      I much prefer to have a range of ripeness when buying bananas, otherwise you need to wait 4 days for them to ripen and now you have 24 hours to eat 8 bananas.

      I didn’t know that. In Europe they’re often somewhat greenish when the shelve is freshly stocked but I think I never found such green ones pictured here… that’s what made me wonder.
