To retain customers, you shouldn't sell low-quality goods. Ripe bananas that are wilted on the outside and have a hard, inedible interior are bad for them.

Thai bananas.

Not the most aesthetically pleasing on the outside but still edible! Not as intense of flavor as I would think it would be but only ate 2 of the bananas so far so maybe the rest have a more intense flavor

I received these on the greener side which I really appreciate and thankful for. I am waiting for them to ripen to make a Thai dessert. The weather has not been kind at 90 degrees making my fruit ripen in a not look so pleasant to the eye. i know for a fact these bananas are delicious without a doubt.
