I prefer them to still be a bit green, and starting to yellow.

I prefer a very ripe banana, though uncooked makes my mouth itchy and I get violent heartburn... I'm allergic to cross pollination in bananas, so I can only eat them cooked.

    Banana bread is the classic. Fried plantains are also excellent. Unfortunately, most methods of destroying the pollen enzymes also make the banana mush, so there's not much you can use it in. Throwing the cooked banana into smoothies/milkshakes is good.

    Holy cow that sounds rough. I used to eat Kiwis with my grandma when I was a kid (42 now) and I recently grabbed one at the store. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to it, I don't remember it being that tingly and mouth numbing lol.

    Allergies can develop/worsen over time, so maybe it's worse now after not having eaten them. As a kid, I always hated eating apples and bananas. I figured it was because they were healthy and you're not really supposed to like eating them lol
