How do you pick a ripe Baby Banana?

  • Choose Baby Bananas according to the peel color and ripeness desired. Select full-yellow Baby Bananas for salads or immediate eating. Use fully ripe Baby Bananas, with speckles on the peel for baking, smoothies or recipes that specify mashed bananas.

How do you prepare Baby Bananas?

  • If using Baby Bananas in salads, to prevent pieces from browning, toss them in pineapple juice before adding. The pineapple juice acts as an ascorbic acid color keeper.

How do you store Baby Bananas?

  • Store at room temperature. The warmer it is, the faster the Baby Bananas will ripen. To slow ripening, refrigerate (peel will turn black but the fruit inside will be fresh and ripe). Baby Bananas can be frozen once the banana is peeled and stored in a freezer bag until ready to use (use a bit of fresh lemon juice to reduce browning). If Baby Bananas are too green, place them in a brown paper bag, in a warm dry area (but not in direct sunlight) for a day or two to encourage ripening. If there is still not enough yellow appearing on the peel, place a ripe apple in the bag with the Baby Bananas.
