My preference is anywhere from 2-4, but I'll demolish anything up to an 8. Bananas at a 9 or above get to sit until they reach 15, at which point they become Banana bread

I'm not too picky because bananas are my favorite fruit. If I really need/want a banana I'll eat any 1 - 11. 12-15 is perfect for smoothies or banana bread. The Ultimate Banana is 9.
