We stopped buying the organic bananas from Sam's because they refuse to ripen. They will literally turn brown and still be hard, chalky and gross. We didn't give up after a couple times either. We stupidly bought them twice a month for around 2 years. At first it was about 1/6 times they'd be bad. Then it progressed to becoming nearly every time we'd buy them. We had enough after we had a batch make zero ripening results after 3 straight weeks.

I was kind of turned away at first.....cause the bananas are so green! LOL....and when I buy bananas I like to eat one that same day! LOL....but don't like the "chalky taste" of a green banana.....but I've learned to stock up when the batch starts dwindling in my fruit bowl so I always have some on hand.......one thing I noticed is that they do ripen FAST! Sometimes faster than others......so I typically split them apart from the bunch and keep them all seperate.....wrap the ends of each banana in plastic wrap. They seem to keep longer this way.....if they start getting too brown, I'l throw them into a plastic bag and into the freeezer for my post-workout protein shake ;) Sam's has got the best price for bananas in my town ;)

I've never seen a bunch of these bananas yellow like in the photo. They're almost always VERY green on day of purchase. Most of the time they kind of turn sort of yellow, but never solid yellow; there's always a fair amount of green left, even when they have brown "I'm ripe" spots. They're usually not ripe enough to each on the day of purchase, but are quite edible 2-3 days later, and are very good to eat 4-6 days after purchase, even though they still look green, and may even seem to have bruises, but those bruises almost never reach the banana flesh.

I RECEIVED COMPLETELY GREEN, POOR QUALITY BANANAS, THAT WERE BOUGHT FOR ME BY THE 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE USED BY SAM'S CLUB FOR ONLINE DELIVERY ORDERS IN OUR AREA, EVEN THOUGH I SPECIFIED, "NO GREEN BANANAS" - IN MY NOTE TO THE SHOPPER, I RECEIVED COMPLETLEY GREEN BANANAS! SAM'S CLUB 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE IN OUR AREA IS TERRIBLE! I HAVE HAD REPEATED DELIVERY ISSUES, AND NO ONE HERE AT OUR LOCAL SAM'S CLUB, OR AT SAM'S CLUB ONLINE, KNOWS HOW TO CONTACT THEIR 3RD PARTY SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE! THE SHOPPING AND DELIVERY SERVICE WANTS YOU TO TIP THEIR SHOPPERS WHEN YOU CHECK OUT ONLINE, BEFORE YOUR ORDER IS SHOPPED AND DELIVERED. IT'S LIKE EXPECTING YOU TO TIP YOUR WAITER FOR YOUR FOOD BEFORE IT IS SERVED TO YOU. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE YOUR TIP TO THE DELIVERY PERSON ONCE YOU ENTER IT AT THE ONLINE CHECKOUT, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ONLINE YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR TIP IF YOU HAVE DELIVERY ISSUES.

Usually Sam's club organic bananas are the best (organic bananas are supposed to be green because they don't get sprayed with the chemical that turns bananas yellow). The Dole ones they have in stock right now are full of fruit flies. I put them back.

I haven't found the Kapi bananas to be as good as Dole bananas.

Mine are going from green to black

Great price

Pick up was easy

Good
