for me 1 and 2 is perfect.
I don't like when they're too sweet, and they aren't squishy and soft like the ones after, the only bad thing about them is that the skin contains a glue like substance which gets stuck on your fingers and tastes like resin.

Indeed. The green bananas are the best because it's a fresher flavor and less of the chalky kind of taste that the ripe and overripe ones can sometimes get.

I'm cool with any range between 3-7. After 7, it's going in the blender as a smoothie or in bread cause it's about texture for me.

I think I heard somebody say that stage 1 is good for frying them up like a more savory dessert or side dish. I dunno. Don't quote me on that.

I worked at a banana farm and what you call "ripe" is how we cut them in order to ship in order for it to actually ripen on the trip. I had no idea they sold them that way in some markets.
