you eat them green, as soon as they kinda turn the yellow color they actually turn brown.

They have to be ripe (yellow) before you eat them.
Baby Bananas
America, the Caribbean and Mexico; with small crops are also grown in California and Florida. They are a small form of the common banana (measuring 6 to 8 cm), and have become slightly larger in the last few years.
They are tropical fruits, grown in every humid tropical region (between 1400 and 1800 meters altitude) and are available year-round.
Baby Bananas taste mild and sweet with a distinct apple tone. The peel is smooth and separates readily for the edible pulp when ripe. They are shaped like miniature slender bananas. This small, crunchy specialty banana is usually eaten out of hand or sliced in fruit salads.
They are familiar in Latin American, African and Asian cooking. Bananas are very versatile fruits that can be eaten raw, either alone or cut into slices and served with sugar and cream, wine or orange juice. They can be roasted, fried or boiled, and made into fritters, preserves, and jellies. Recipes:

treat them like regular bananas - yellow is ripe...
Tiny bananas seem perfect for Bananas Fosters
Recipe from the original creators (Brennan's in New Orleans)
Bananas Foster
¼ cup (½ stick) butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half
lengthwise, then halved
¼ cup dark rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
