A word of advice, it does not really matter whether you are eating a green banana or a yellow one. However, for cooking, you should go for green bananas as they have a propensity to absorb flavors better because of their starch content. The only thing to be kept in mind is that if you do decide to eat the banana peels, only buy organic bananas. Do not try to eat the peels of normal bananas as they will surely do more harm than good.
