They often don't turn yellow until they're TOO ripe. The only reason the ones in the store are yellow is because they've been dipped in chemical ripener. Plantains are much bigger and not in the banana family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150944826215673526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-79746767725754780852015-10-06T16:15:06.007-07:002015-10-06T16:15:06.007-07:00Thanks! :)Thanks! :)Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-84801428519969589542015-10-03T12:22:26.545-07:002015-10-03T12:22:26.545-07:00I like how resourceful this is!!

They just stayed green and kind of started drying out. <br />I've heard bananas are sprayed with something that makes them ripen, since they are picked green for shipment, and it seems like these ones just missed out on that treatment!Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-2492066708311452382013-06-25T06:49:32.939-07:002013-06-25T06:49:32.939-07:00Never, in my loooong life, have I heard of this.

Then in the store or before arrival ethylene gas is sprayed on them so they will ripen. You can ripen them yourself by putting a few very ripe apples (you can use other fruit but apples work really well) with them in a brown paper bag. Chances are yours were missed in the spraying. Unique way to use them up!
