What the Hell is Up with Bananas?

We went grocery shopping yesterday. Because I was considering making smoothies (to beat the heat), we bought a bunch of bananas. They were still green.

By the time I got home from work today, the bananas were practically bread-ready.

What is this? Is there only a twenty minute window when the bananas are ripe but not brown? And if so, why are all pictures of bananas yellow?

In spite of these queries, I ate one. It was delicious.

This is why I typically have a freezer full of banana bread. I just can't bear throwing them away - although sometimes my husband does when I'm not around - so I make bread. Good thing I'm a big fan of banana bread.

The same thing happens to me. Two days and the damn things are black. I give up.
