Choose delicious bananas:

The first step is to observe the color of bananas. Generally speaking, good bananas have golden luster, although some bananas may have a little turquoise external luster, but this will not have a great impact on the quality of bananas. The super-perfect luster may also be artificially ripened and needs further screening.

The second step is to observe the skin of banana. Generally, the skin of banana is intact, and if it is damaged, it will affect eating. However, it is normal for banana peel to have black spots, as long as there is no rotten place. In addition, it is very common for banana stems to be turquoise, because this part tends to mature the slowest.

The third step is to look at the feel. Pick up the banana and weigh it. A good banana feels thick but not hard, and the maturity is just right. If it is too hard, it means that it is not fully mature; It's too soft, and it may affect the taste if it matures for a long time. When you find that the banana handle is about to fall off, or has fallen off, this bunch of bananas may have matured for a long time.
