Okay, I have to ask a stupid question...

I personally like under-ripe (crunchy) pears. I don't like mature (mushy) pears.

Same thing with bananas. I like them when they're a bit hard to peel (slightly green), and leave the "fuzzy" feeling on your teeth.

Am I missing out on a lot of vitamins and enzymes by eating my pears and bananas "under-done?"

Thanks!
Tom
