When a banana is green, this means that the fruit is not ripened yet, meaning that it is not ready to eat. If you do choose to eat it then you might get constipation or it will make you poo hard. Weird but true, so i'd stick with eating the yellow ripe ones.

Many people prefer less than ripe fruit, and if it causes you no digestive difficulties , it's fine.

Yes and there are even benefits of eating lees ripe bananas.

The degree of ripeness affects how many calories you may get from the fruit. The less ripe a banana is, the more resistant starch it contains and less sugar, and so the slower it is absorbed by the body and the lower its GI. This means more undigested starch passes into the large intestine, so a greener banana means you'll absorb fewer calories.
