Why is bananas yellow?

Answer 1

So they can photosynthesise and make energy from sun light, we are only meant to eat them when they are ripe and turn yellow, they are green sometimes in our super markets because if they were transported starting from when they were ripe they would nearly be off when reaching our shelves so producers harvest them early. Normally supermakets make more money getting them early because it gives them a larger window of opportunity to sell the bananas before turning black and unattractive to many consumers however when the skin is Black the Banana is usually still ok inside and eaisily digestable and sweeter compared to a green banana.

Answer 2

When not ripe the color of a Bananahas a more Chlorophyll Prominent...which is green in color. When it gets the need for sunlight for its ripening the chlorophyll suppresses its activities and other group of pigments in the cells called the Anthocyanins will start to show its color yellow.
