Yellow, bent, fine.
Emotional rollercoaster
I peeled this banana with hope only to discover it was slightly underripe. The texture was firm almost challenging but I convinced myself it was an edgy new experience. Halfway through it broke in my hand like a betrayal. I finished it anyway because I'm not a quitter but I couldn't help thinking: was it me or the banana? Did I rush this?
Efficient energy source
Conveniently portable and self-packaged, bananas are a great source of potassium and natural sugars. However, the window of perfect ripeness is so small that it feels like a commitment. Eat it too soon? Chalky. Wait too long? You're hosting a fruit fly rave. Solid snack, but temperamental.
