RE: Re: Bananna Ripe vs. unripe fruits

[Guest guest]

My son would often help himself to the bananas in the bowl on the

counter before they were SCD ripe, plus we have always been greenish

banana lovers, so this became a problem with SCD.

Since I got a lot of extra cabinet space changing to SCD, I just put my

fruit bowl in the cupboard. It serves the same purpose too as putting

fruit in a paper bag and helps it ripen. I stick fruit that is ripe

enough to eat in the bowl, so kids can help themselves, and then put

firmer fruit behind the bowl, out of sight.

Cantaloupe does not do so well though, and will get moldy in a day or 2.

So I stick them there for part of a day and then set on the counter.

I googled " Photos of ripe bananas " and a big page of photos came up but

nothing that

really looked ripe.
