var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">Unlike the Cavendish bananas (Petite Naine, Ollier), under ambient conditions, a mature Gingeli banana starts to ripen naturally within 3 days after harvest. However, the Gingeli banana should be eaten when fully ripe (which is about 2 to 3 days after both the fruit and its stalk have attained its full yellow colour). Fruits that are at the right stage of ripeness, detach very easily from the crown. The ripe Gingeli is prone to finger drop and should be handled with care to avoid damage. An easy way to detect the optimum ripe stage is by plucking the fruit from the crown. Before this optimum ripe stage, the fruit has an unappealing starchy taste and should be relatively difficult to tear at crown level. The Gingeli banana should not be allowed to become fully round on the tree, as upon ripening, the peel of such fruits tend to split reducing its marketability.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section
