yeah, unless it's really mushy. It's just a little oxidation, like when an apple starts to turn brown after cutting it.

@SW-User I'm not sure this is due to oxidation
That means bananas tend to be placed in chillers in between being picked and being put out in the store, and if a banana gets too cold at this point, the walls of its internal cells will start to break down.
When this happens, they will start to release compounds that were previously trapped by the walls, and these compounds will react with each other, causing the flesh of the banana to turn brown. As this process continues, the flesh will usually become black, and then it will start to become slimy.
This usually happens on the inside of the banana, rather than the outside, and is the main reason that you can peel a banana and discover that it has gone brown in the center, even while the exterior looks perfect. A banana that is stored below 32 degrees F will usually show signs of cold damage.

That's not that big of a deal. If the whole thing is brown and mushy then that's a 'no', but just a bit is fine.

No.. only because im very non banana friendly. But it's fine to eat. Id probably make banana pancakes with it.

It's just a bruise. You can eat it. It will be sweeter than the rest of the banana.
