Red Banana Pro Tips For optimal flavor, allow your Red Bananas to ripen until the skin turns a deep reddish color and yields slightly to gentle pressure. Enjoy them fresh, blend them into smoothies, or use them in baking for a sweet, fruity twist. To slow ripening, store them in a cool place or refrigerate.
