I've had banana trees, and if you don't pick bananas the MOMENT they become ripe, then they will already have so many bugs in them, the entire tree, that it will just be a horrible depressing nightmare.

So I pick bananas green (I also pick tomatoes green. ) and let them ripen off the tree in a place safe from bugs and other vermin and poachers.
(SPOILER)I also only farm organic, which is why these things can be such a problem

So my belief is that, when everything was shaping out to be what it would one day be, and all the fruits were a little banana shaped, curving into that semicircle which would one day compress itself and be a smaller circle etc, bananas were just so mobbed by bugs all the time that they just said, "You know what? Screw it!" *dies by mob of bugs*

My favorite fruit is either the plum or the tangerine. I'm free to decide.
