Expert warning: don't buy bananas at the supermarket if they look like this and here are the various reasons

A consumer advice article shares expert tips for choosing the best bananas at the supermarket. The main signs to look for include the color of the peel (which should be vibrant and uniform, without grayish tones), the presence of dark spots or bruised areas that may indicate damage to the flesh and accelerated deterioration, and the state of the stem which should be green, firm and free of cracks to ensure gradual ripening. Small brown spots are considered positive, indicating ideal ripeness, but extensive spots with soft texture or altered odor indicate degradation. The article also highlights that slightly green bananas are more advantageous because they contain more resistant fiber, have a lower glycemic index, and allow better control over ripening at home.
