<human>: How can I tell the difference between a ripe banana and a rotten one?
<bot>: The best way to tell if a banana is ripe is by its color. A ripe banana should be slightly yellow with some brown spots on the peel. If it is green in color, then it is probably not ripe yet. You can also check for ripeness by gently squeezing the banana. If it yields slightly to your touch, it is likely ripe. Finally, you can smell the banana; if it has a sweet aroma, then it is ready to eat.
