So what do you recommend that I do so that it ripens the best? I currently do not have a great place for it to hang. The yellowing caught me by surprise. Any guess on when I should start trying them? Thanks.
Try one of the ripest ones now. They don't look that much like Manzano, and if they're not, the top ones look perfectly ripe. Take a photo of a cross section that shows the thickness of the peel. I think they may be Brazilian, which has a thick peel, whereas Manzano has a thin peel. If the peel is thin and the bananas are a bit astringent at this point, they are Manzano.
