What the heck is wrong with these bananas?

[biggirlknickers]

I’ve had them for almost 3 weeks and they are just as green as the day I bought them.

This is why I never buy green bananas.

And yes I have put ripe bananas in the bowl with them. I’ve got through several bunches of ripe bananas waiting for these ones to do something!

YABU: be patient, green bananas take months to ripen doncha know.

YANBU: there is something wrong with your bananas.

Have you opened one to see if they're unripe inside. I know that could potentially mean wasting a banana.
I have similar pears, ripen at home. Had them nearly 2 weeks, still rock hard.

We had similar delivered by Tesco. They never went yellow and I didn't think to open them anyway 🙈

Find a recipe that needs bananas like this, buy other ingredients, the bananas will be brown and mushy in no time! I have had this before, if you just open the skin very slightly it should start to ripen, but it wouldn't overly surprise me if there are anomalies and some just never do!

I think they have the banana variant of covid. I am shocked at the number of other bananas you have socially mixed them with. Get them isolated and book them a test for the love of God OP!

Maybe they are the Benjamin Button of bananas? 😀

We had similar bananas recently. They were ripe inside, but never turned yellow.

I always buy green bananas. They are still past that nice lemony yellow, perfect to eat stage within a couple of days and descend to the brown mushy inedible state rapidly.

I want some like yours

They're not plantains are they?

Had the same thing recently - didn't open them up. Just thought there was something wrong.

I had some like these, they were fine inside but never lost their green colour.

Put them in a paper bag with an apple for a couple of days, that'll get them sorted.

They look like plantains?

Bought some in Tesco a few weeks back. I took them back for a refund.

With regard to your pears that have been rock hard for nearly two weeks: Someone will ring your doorbell. You will go to see who it is and when you come back your pears will be mush......

Mine are the same! Delivered by online shopping 3 weeks ago... still green and hard, so I don’t think ripe inside...

Got these on Sunday. Sweepstake on when/if they might be edible?

Could you have picked up plantains by mistake?

I had some like this too! Although slightly less green than yours. After about a week I caved and peeled one to put in my porridge - was surprised to discover a nice ripe banana inside the green skin.

It's a different variety of bananas-I've bought several bunches like those-they're actually ripe and never change color on the peel like conventional bananas

I see Tesco has been mentioned a couple of times. Their fruit and veg is shit.

We had same problem from asda. Kept them weeks and weeks and they never went yellow. Eventually I got fed up and opened one and it was all weird and dry inside.
Bin the bannanas.

They're definitely not plantains.

I had this with bananas from the coop. Intended to ripen over Christmas for banana bread. First week in Feb they were still green and rock hard, and impossible to peel.

Yes I keep getting these bananas especially from Tesco and M&S. I thought I was going insane
