RE: How to Get the Most Out of Bananas: Firm and Fresh to Mushy Melancholia
Awesome stuff man! I had no idea there were so many hidden "stages" of bananas and found it very interesting how the uses of each stage differ in cooking, as I typically cook a lot myself. Would you need to prepare a Banana for use as a 'binding' agent? If so how would you do this?
Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Haha.. these stages are my own creation, in terms of their naming and description per se.
Regarding your question as to whether you need to prepare a banana as a binding agent, the answer is "no", you don't. -- Although does mushing up count as prep? If so, then "yes", you need to mush it up!
Bananas with spots are better to use for this purpose (mainly for flavour). Use them in pancakes, muffins and various sweet 'breads' - banana bread is an obvious one!
Thanks so much for your vote and for taking time out of your day to read my ramblings!

Nick
No worries mate :D That's pretty legit, the stages that you've shown do seem to match up with physical changes of the banana so it's a good characterization there, awesome It's good to know (about the cooking prep and use in pancakes and muffins).
Again no worries :) It was an excellent article and absolutely worthy of the Curie up vote it gained :D
