Description

Bananas are a staple of a balanced diet, high in potassium and minerals that make it a great breakfast option. This fruit is very delicate and susceptible to chill damage, so store them at 56-58 degrees (Fahrenheit) to hold and 60 to 65 degrees to ripen. Chill damage may not be visible until the fruit is returned to a warmer temperature. Don’t know how to tell what stage your banana is in? Sort them out by stage number:

Stage 3 = half green half yellow
Stage 4 = more yellow than green
Stage 5 = yellow with green tips
