Brits buying bananas in UK supermarkets urged to check 1 thing
Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the UK, but choosing the best ones isn’t always as simple as it seems. Most people tend to look at the colour or how firm they are, but that doesn’t always guarantee the best flavour. There are often dozens to choose from in supermarkets, and they can all look very similar at first glance.
TL;DR
- A chef recommends checking the stem length of bananas to determine sweetness and flavor.
- Shorter stems indicate sweeter and more flavorful bananas.
- Longer stems are associated with less sweet and less flavorful bananas.
- The difference in taste was noticeable even when bananas looked similar in ripeness.
- Shoppers can easily compare stem lengths to make their selection.
