Is there a way to tell if a banana is ripe?

Yes, there are several ways you can tell if a banana is ripe. One way is by looking at the skin color. If it's yellow-green in color, then it's likely not ripe yet. Another way is to gently squeeze the banana. If it yields slightly to your touch and feels soft, then it's probably ripe. You can also smell the banana; if it has a sweet aroma, it's likely ripe.
