Reply to comment by Porkamiso in TIL that green grocery store bananas that have 'sharp' edges, rather than a more circular cross section, were likely harvested premature and they are unlikely to ripen after you take them home. by 80see

That's probably on you. All banana are basically clones (yes there's some outliers) and have been since the 50s. The methods in harvesting and transport (13°C, strong ventilation) and ripening (ethylene gas, slightly higher temperature) have been unchanged since about that time. I worked on reefer ships, we mostly carried bananas.
