Ocado Rainforest Alliance Certified Ripen at Home Bananas. Class 1. Did you know?  We've moved to paper banana bands, saving around 13 tons of plastic per year! These bananas have a very firm, pale yellow, waxy flesh and vary in size and shape. A medium banana (80g) is 1 of your 5 a day and their flavour is dependent on where they are in the ripening process;  - Green bananas have a more bitter flavour and grow sweeter as they ripen.  - Yellow bananas have a mild, sweet flavour and are ideal for slicing over porridge, cereal and pancakes or, eaten as a healthy snack.  - Browning bananas have a stronger smell, more intense ‘perfumed’ taste, softer texture and are perfect for blending into smoothies, muffins and cakes or freezing as an alternative to ice cream.  Want to embrace more taste, less waste?
