What time of ripeness is best to consume a banana?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Riper is better but: Interesting question. As bananas ripen their level of antioxidants increase, esp. The levels of polar nccs (nonfluorescing chlorophyll catabolytes).Thus, eating riper bananas will have greater benefits, but personal preference is also an important factor; i think it's reasonable to eat them at the ripeness level you prefer (or a bit riper): http://www.Whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice&dbid=7.
