Don’t be so quick to throw away those banana peels! They have some unexpected benefits that you may not be aware of. By getting a little creative in the kitchen, you can turn those kitchen scraps into valuable resources for your home and garden. Let’s explore how you can reuse banana peels to make the most of their nutritional and practical properties.

Nutritional Powerhouse
Believe it or not, banana peels are actually very nutritious. They contain vitamins B6 and B12, magnesium, potassium, fiber and protein. Instead of letting all these nutrients go to waste, you can easily incorporate them into your daily diet or use them as a natural plant fertilizer.

How to prepare banana peels
Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds! All you need is a food processor to chop the banana peels into a versatile shape. Here’s how to do it:

Clean the peels: Make sure to wash the peels thoroughly to remove all pesticides and contaminants. Organic bananas are the best choice as they contain fewer harmful chemicals.

Chop the shells: Cut the shells into smaller pieces to make them easier to process.

Process the peels: Place the chopped peels in your food processor and process until finely chopped or until you reach your desired consistency.
