Why are my bananas still green?

Question

i've had them for 2 1/2 weeks and they are still green? any ways to get them ripe faster? thanks

Answer 1

Because they're not yellow :)

Answer 2

The best thing to do it put them in a brown paper bag leave them for 24 hours. This is to make them ripe faster.

They should still be fine.  You just seemed to get them almost right off the tree. They are picked way before they will be ripe.

Answer 3

maybe theyre just bad

Answer 4

Listen to sevenday (whatever his avatar name is). You can leave them in the bag a little longer if they don't ripen up.

Answer 5

they might be turning into the grinch...ahh

Answer 6

If you've had them this long, and still no signs of ripening, you may be out of luck.  Green bananas are often used in Latin cooking, and they're picked earlier.

You're not keeping them in the fridge, are you?

Answer 7

good question....i've had a bunch of bananas for almost 2 weeks and they are still green. This happened to me once before and I ended up just throwing them out.

Answer 8

well when the banana pickers pick them, they have to make sure that there not ripe. this they onyl do becuase it take a long time to get to where it needs to go.so by the time they get there, there ready to eat. but a way to get bananas ripe fast is to put them in the sun.
