Bananas ripen very fast. If they're yellow at the store, they will be brown within a day or two.

Green bananas are just bananas that haven't fully ripened yet. Stores stock green bananas because they last longer in the store and at home after a customer buys them. But green bananas actually have different uses as well. People with diabetes who can't eat sugary foods normally can't eat bananas, but they can eat green bananas because they don't have as much sugar in them. (As bananas ripen, they process the starch within them and turn it into sugar.) If you buy green bananas and you want to speed up the ripening process, try putting them in a box or paper bag for about 24 hours. Bananas release the chemical that processes the starch as they ripen, and if you capture it within a container with the bananas, they'll ripen faster.

Them are always like that but I know the move a lot of them so you might get there when they're not ready to eat..(.19 cents each) it will be brown in about 2 hours tops Just ask a worker. I do when I was looking for some ready for bread.. Hope this helped..

In some TJ's stores they place them next to red apples, which actually makes them ripen much quicker. Apple's emit some toxic gas for bananas. This is at the Boylston location. Brookline location the banana stand is frequently empty when I'm there

Well, they eventually ripen.
