What Will Happen If You Eat a Banana That Already Has Spots? Bad or Good?

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana with brown spots (that’s it!)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and check that it’s only spotted on the peel — the inside should be soft and sweet, not mushy or moldy.
  2. Eat the banana as is, add it to a smoothie, or mash it for baking.
  3. Enjoy! Spotted bananas are perfectly safe to eat — in fact, they’re sweeter and have higher antioxidant levels than green ones.

Tip: Bananas with spots are great for digestion because they’re higher in simple sugars and may be easier on your stomach. Just avoid bananas that have mold or smell fermented.
