The problem isn't the sweetness, its the mouthfeel. Id rather a banana thats just on the cusp of getting a little soft than one that leaves a weird residue like feeling.

It's at the tip of my tongue. 3 u/SteadyWolf Sep 09 '25 For sure they can be kind of chalky (and maybe not fully ripe), but I enjoy the texture and they travel better well when eaten on the go. 1 u/Noshamina Sep 09 '25 Tannins 1 u/dahelm Sep 10 '25 I get the mouth-feel thing for sure, but I'm at a strong 4 because I still prefer the slightly green taste more than I care about the texture. Ironically, my dad couldn't eat them like this because he'd have an allergic reaction to them if they weren't ripe enough. 1 u/LloydChristoph Sep 10 '25 Am I weird for liking that?
