If you are lucky, sometimes you'll find organic bananas show up at Whole Foods or other health food stores....but oddly, some are still stamped "Dole".

> Overripe bananas can have high levels of tyramine, but firm bananas shouldn't be a problem, especially with Emsam as opposed to an oral MAOI. As for banana peels, you should never eat them, even if you're not taking an MAOI - all bananas sold in the US (and most other countries too, I presume) are doused with highly poisonous sprays to kill bugs and spiders. It could make you very sick.
