In response to the queation over my blackened over ripe banana: What I will usually do is freeze them when they become over ripe and use them for my smoothies either peeled or unpeeled.
Diabetics should avoid the overripe banana because the carbs turn into simple augers which can cause their glucose levels to rise. For the non diabetic however re riper the banana, the sweeter it is.
The spots on the peel actually indicate the amount of antioxidants present in the banana. As the banana ripens the level of antioxidants increase!
