Dear God i hope there’s no “double entendre” behind this question… but taking it at face value… i’ll only eat the brown squishy part if i use the banana in a shake or smoothie… otherwise… no.

If it’s a fairly light bruise, yes. But super dark ones I don’t like.

Having said that, I am hoping the same as @Dr_C

is it bad to eat the bruise? or does it just taste bad, ive always been to grossed out to try it.

no puns, just naners

I’m pretty sure it’s not bad for you (unless of course there’s mold on it or it smells a little off)... but you’re right, it is pretty gross.

It’s just a little squishier and tastes more ripe, no harm, no foul.
Eat it. :)

Personally, I prefer bananas right before they’re ripe, when they’re extra firm.

Oh boy.

If I’m just eating the banana, no I cut the bruise out with a spoon.

I’m with @asmonet on this one. I don’t like bananas once they are soft.

No way. I don’t eat apple bruises either.

Nope. Something about that brown bit just urks me. Ew.

warpling's avatar

I always cut them out, or close my eyes and eat it with a good part and try to not taste it. If it’s in cooking, I don’t care.

casheroo's avatar

No. The brown part freaks me out. I like a firmer banana. giggles

No, I just cut it off with a small knife.

asmonet's avatar

I’m so glad to have helped.

mcbealer's avatar

no!
well, let me rephrase that
I have been known to toss into a smoothie very ripe bananas, bruises and all. As far as snacking on a banana though, I prefer yellow ones which are still slightly tart, with no brown on them.

Its not bad for you. Riper bananas are better because the starch changes to sugar. Thats why some bananas taste sour – they are not ripe. The starch hasn’t converted to sugar.

sometimes.
