Did you try to eat one?

@SilleeMee @No, but my husband ate one. He said it was OK. He never complains about the taste of any food he eats, with the exception of cruciferous vegetables.

We used to buy Chiquita bananas at Publx and it was the same thing.....now we only buy Dole bananas from Food Lion.

I have having to shop at 2 different stores.

I googled your green banana problem: Why are my bananas still green after 2 weeks?

"Don't toss those green bananas. You may not believe me, but the truth is they WILL eventually get ripe. If they arrive to your site very green, it likely means they did not get enough of the ethylene gas that speeds the ripening process, but they will ripen naturally. It can take up to 6 weeks".

Fyffes is a Japanese-owned fruit and fresh produce company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. The Fyffes brand is most closely associated with the banana industry, although it is applied to a wide range of fruits and fresh produce, including the Fyffes Gold Pineapples, mushrooms and Fyffes melons.

When I get bananas which are not ripe enough for me to enjoy eating, I place them inside a plastic bag, at room temp, to keep the gasses from escaping. It's the gasses emitted from the bananas, or any fruit, which ripens them. Leave them inside the bag for a couple of days, sometimes longer, depending on how green they are. After they get ripe I take them out of the bag and place them in the fridge to prevent them from getting too ripe. Take bananas out of fridge an hour before eating so their texture returns to normal. Cold bananas are not really my thing.
