- Select green bananas that are firm, bright in color, smooth, and unbruised.
- Avoid yellowing bananas if you want the crisp texture and slower-digesting starch.
- Store them at room temperature and out of direct sunlight to slow ripening.
- Green bananas can be cooked with beans, braised with meat, steamed, or added to salads.
Although they’re highly nutritious, moderation is still important. Anyone with stomach sensitivities should stick to cooked green bananas to avoid irritation.
