The most common banana is the Cavendish - the one we all know and love to eat fresh or in smoothies, yogurts and cakes. When yellow with green tips, it has a lovely, balanced sweetness and texture. When very ripe (and very sweet) the yellow skin will be dotted with brown spots – this is the natural sugars bursting out!
