Are bananas still good when the outside is brown?

Answer 1

The browner the outside, the sweeter the banana. When they get very brown though, the texture changes and they become very mushy, at that point they are best used for banana bread or muffins. Unless the insides start to actually liquify, the bananas are good to eat.

Answer 2

If the banana just has spots or is starting to turn brown, it's okay to eat. Totally brown bananas are very soft and mush. When they turn black, thrown them in the trash.

You can freeze over ripe (not rotten) bananas by removing the skin and dark spots on the fruit. Put them in a freezer bag and use them to make banana muffins or cake.

Answer 3

Brownish or black, you mean? They taste twice sweeter and that's basically the reason why they're used for banana bread or banana cake. I believe they're still ok when they turn that color already ('cause if they weren't they shouldn't have been used, not to mention preferred, as the major banana cake ingredient). It's just that they taste different from how we usually like our bananas...

Answer 4

If there is small patches of brown its okay. But if the banana is completly covered in brown its rotten. Brown patched bananas taste so much sweeter though.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Peel the banana to find out. It may be a little slimy inside, I would discard it.

Answer 8

Of course they are ok to eat when brown.That means they have rippened properly.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yes, they are. The brown only means the sugars are seeping out and into the peel. It's not rotten though.
