Yes you should. I was washing mine because of all the fungicide they are coated in while growing, but then I learned from someone on reddit one day that it will clear the fruit fly eggs that are typically around the bud end. You should wash every fruit or vegetable you buy at the store first before eating.
I keep them in a bag that’s tied off until I can wash them, but try to wash them as quickly as possible. The bag can also be a useful way to get the bananas to ripen faster if they’re too green.
I will wash my banana when I get it home. It’s always crawling with pests. One day I will tire of this and then no more banana.
Do you always dirty your banana when you go out?
It’s always getting into holes and hanging with the wrong bunch.
I’ve never heard of someone washing their bananas. Strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc I’ve heard but never bananas
