If you asked a family member to buy you some bananas but said you wanted "green tipped" ones would that be strange?

I always buy underripe bananas and eat them when they are not yet really soft.so it’s not strange to me.

I am for that too. That way the bunch can last 4 or 5 days on my kitchen counter.

Well it’s strange in that most people just see yellow bananas, but not to cooks or people who really like banana’s.
I always get yellow because the more ripe, the better flavor for cooking.

@KNOWITALL Yes, it does depend what you are going to do with them. For eating, I can’t stand a mushy banana but if I am baking banana cake or bread I will let them get really ripe before baking.

@janbb Exactly! I hate banana extract, yuck.

Another “is it weird” question? Subjective. Weirdest and strangest thing to me is that people ask “is it weird” questions from others, like there’s one true answer to that, determinable by polling.

But no. Some people like riper bananas than others. Nothing weird about it, except subjectively in the perception/thinking/preferences/feelings/conditioning of each person.

Green tipped, in my opinion, is when they are at the height of flavor. When I made pies for a living, those were what we used for the Banana Cream pies.

I just bought some green tipped because that was what was available in the store.

But @Aster, it depends on the type of banana. If one buys Apple Bananas in Hawaii, they turn yellow on the tree, but that means they are not ripe enough to eat. When the peel has lots of black spots, the banana itself is blemish free and perfect for eating.

@Zaku I agree with the “is it weird” questions. It’s similar to asking if most people like Mercedes or Ford – as if there’s only 2 kinds. :D

Hardly any more weird than only buying the hollow pointed ones.

I always buy bananas with a little green on them. I haven’t heard the expression “green tipped” before, but I would know exactly what you mean, and it’s not weird to me.

It’s not weird at all to me. I typically buy the greenest bananas I can find and ripen them myself at home, so I get what you mean when you say “green tipped.”
