5. When to Throw Bananas Away
Even though dark bananas are usually safe, there comes a point when they’re no longer good for consumption.
You should discard bananas if:
The peel is moldy or has white, fuzzy growths.
The fruit emits a fermented or rotten smell.
The inside is leaking liquid, mushy beyond repair, or has black mold spots inside.
There are fruit flies or signs of decay around them.
At that stage, it’s best to compost them rather than throw them in the trash — turning waste into nourishment for your plants.
