These bananas were green when I got them and I was happy for that because they are quite a bunch and I like when they ripen slowly. That being said, every time I buy bananas from a big box store they never turn yellow. They seem to ripen but stay green. It seems to me they do not gas them, to extend the shelf life. I had bought some from another big box store with the same problem, but I thought I would try them from Sam's and maybe it would be a different outcome, but no it was not. I have learned my lesson I will stick to the local grocery for bananas.

I have been disappointed with the last 2 purchases of bananas for pick up service. The time before last, the bananas were so green they NEVER ripened. They just got brown spots and became mushy. Threw them away. The last time they got a little more ripe but still a big disappointment. Don't think I will try these again unless I pick them out for myself.

I had a relative who shipped fruit, and he'd talk about how careful they were not to let bananas below a certain temp because they will go bad, blankets and everything, I believe I understand first hand what he means now! Twice I've gotten bananas and they start very green, however then they go immediately to brown without passing through yellow at any point. If you are looking to bake with them, these will be OK. If you want to eat them, don't bother, they will never be the right ripeness for eating unless you like brown with more brown spots.

A review of bananas, that's bananas. Love the price and always fresh. Not much more to say. I'd like to have a sticker on the bananas like the grapes you are selling with the picture and QR code if the farm hand that picked these. I thought that was fun. Sometimes people forget all the hard work that goes into getting food farm to table.

This is technically the only place it makes sense to buy bananas. I usually pick up three bunches at a time that seems to be my magic number at this point with the increased size of the household. This is also about a two week supply. With the price and quality I seldom go elsewhere for that quantity.

This review is not just for Sam's bananas but all bananas in general. Something is not right with today's bananas! When I was young, bananas would last several days and gradually turn ripe. Today's bananas look good for a day or two then start getting these little black spots on them then immediately start turning black in a day or two. I wish someone could explain what the differences are from bananas of today. Thanks.

We used the order on line and pickup at the store feature which has recently been instituted. Ordered the bananas with a special request that it include some greener ones. The ones we received were just as ordered! Love this new service being offered by Sam's Club!

A FEW OF THE BANANAS WERE HALF ROTTEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. THE BANANAS LOOK BEAUTIFUL BUT WHEN YOU PEAL BACK THE SKIN, THE BLOSSOM END IS BLACK HALF WAY DOWN THE BANANA. THIS HAS ONLY STARTED FAIRLY RECENTLY. THIS IS THE THIRD BUNCH WE HAVE RECEIVED THAT HAVE SHOWN THIS DEFECT.

Be careful not to buy them when they are green. I am allergic to green bananas, but not yellow sugar spotted bananas. This last batch rotted green. I tried one that had softened and learned a valuable lesson about not eating softened green bananas...

I usually have at least a banana for breakfast. I usually make a fruit smoothie with several different fruits. The trick is purchasing bananas that don't deteriorate too quickly. Sometimes no matter where purchased I find that they ripen almost overnight & then I'm stuck with throw away fruit. I have found that I can freeze bananas. I peel & wrapped each banana with was paper then put in a freeze quart bag. I usually make a smoothie so a frozen banana will work. I haven't tried taking the frozen bananas to make a puree & then using them to make banana nut bread but I think that would work also.
