Maureen Solomon a health guru of the 70's and 80's, (now deceased), taught that the inside of the banana peel is very healing.,she learned that from a tribal African man when she was there learning African healing traditions. The man's son was bitten by one of those big spiders and the man peels a banana and bound the banana peel skin inside of the peel down, upressed against the bite,,and the Father bound it up. Left it on all the next day and to Maureen's surprise,,the vicious spider bite was completely healed. I've used them for the same thing,,healing skin woumds and burns and it does work. I throw all banana peels in the flower beds. I've never thought of washing peels off for spray that might be on them. But I do use snips of them on sores or knife wounds taped on.
Ok. But You didn’t say you “ate” the banana peels! Over the years, I’ve personally known many African born Africans. Though they spoke of and prepared lots of African dishes, never did they talk of “eating” peels of bananas. Nor do I know of any African American dishes where bananas peels were “eaten”. So, this is new to me! Wow!
Martha Kuntz Yes, directly in your skin. Everyone used to said nice comments about how smooth my skin was when my hands were touched, for example. The banana peel protected so well the fruit. ..makes sense, right?
You can use plaintains, which are larger and firmer and usually green. If you peel and slice them in circles, they can be lightly browned in a frying pan with olive oil or coconut oil and served with eggs for breakfast or lunch.
I’ve been eating my banana peels for quite some time now and love them. I love not wasting anything if possible. They’re great and all sorts of sautés and dishes.
@The Casino stop thinking I'm lying bc I eat it with no problems. Do you think I poop out an entire intact banana peel?? Once I fry it up on the stove it becomes much softer, the only downside to me is the somewhat bitter taste, so I use a recipe I found that soaks it in soy sauce and sugar before hand. Also, I do not eat that thick stem or the tough bottom. Just the peel
they are high in fiber, if your diet is low in fiber usualy, than it might give your trubble, otherwise as long as you ingest enough liquid as well there should not be a problem. Banana peels are used by many people wich no problems at all ^^. Just make sure no one who is supposed to eat them has a latex allergy.
Already tried a Chick's recipe of pulled pork tacos with Oyster Mushrooms, now trying some tasty tacos out with Banana Peels! Uprated, thanks for sharing IRIE Lady and will try this recipe soon! :)
Wow, I really should try this sometime 🤤 I already made banana peel salad, "pulled pork" and I pickled them, but this looks very good, too! I'm glad that there are so many recipes now, about how to use banana peels, as they seem to be pretty healthy as well :D
Lovely post. Gonna rethink throwing out my banana peels! Also, I'm curious about the skillet you used to cook your banana peel dish. I have been looking for a good all purpose skillet & have been told by a friend that she is very satisfied with a skillet she has that has a similar granite-like interior. Could you tell me what is the brand of your skillet and are you satisfied with its performance? Thanks for your kind assistance.
Hi Patricia! I'm not sure what brand it is but it's made in Italy and has a ceramic coating that looks like granite. We got ours at TJ Maxx and love it!
i am actually thinking about trying this in a slow cooker to see what it does to the texture. I love the fact that when I go to the grocery store and have to buy the prepackaged organic bananas....they won't go to waste now. My hubby has CKD and can't have bananas and so that means that they are all for me! LOL. Now there is no waste.
I saute them and put into curry dishes. I also saute them and then add them to pancakes with chopped nuts like pecan or walnut. If you check out here on YT Chef Jana, she has been teaching how to use green bananas per my request. I had gone to a vegan restaurant where I had a delicious meal of banana stew and was surprised that it was more of a beefy flavor for lack of a better description and wasn't sweet as I had expected. They stopped making it....and I had a craving...LOL.
I think I'll try doing a really big bunch at once, freezing it after it's cleaned and prepped and chopped, and then use it to make a meatless sauce or meatballs or tacos as you did. It looks really good and my son loves vegan. I appreciate the video!
Scared of the whole pesticide thing. A lot of banana-peel-eating people have been saying that recently. Or recently I have been watching a lot of videos how to eat banana peels.
The plant doesn't pass animal blood etc on to you. The plant and its symbiotic fungi or bacteria break the animal products to their components like nitrogen and the plants absorb that. It is food for the plant. Plants along with bacteria and fungi have always broken down dead animal bodies (and dead insects and birds and worms and other dead plants) that's where they get much of their nutrition that they can't get by photosynthesis) Then they convert those basic nutrients into plant proteins - the same way that you convert the basic nutrients from plant back into animal proteins (ie your own). It's called a cycle. Don't deny plants their nutrition just because you want to be a purist. If you eat a plant which has "eaten" an animal product you are not eating an animal. Either that our you must accept that when you eat a plant you are eating everything that the plant has absorbed from its environment, including dead plants and animals and animal faeces and urine.
I use ripe (pealed) bananas in raw vegan cakes/pies or in banana bread. One of my favorite desserts is frozen banana "ice cream". The bananas are frozen, then put into a food processor. I add cocoa (fair trade) or carob powder and a few drops of stevia. A also love them processed with frozen cherries. Depending on the quantity and processor, you might need to add a small amount of water.
Laya Saul Thanks. Similar to one I saw on TV recently.... frozen berries in processor with some yogurt and a small bit of honey..... better than ice cream IMHO
What about Banana peels and the Human Digestive System🤔 Heck! Even apes and monkies don't eat the peels of bananas. Thanks anyways for the information! But I'll take a pass on this recipe.
Amatullah Kalimah....Apes can't cook! There are alot of indigestible foods that need cooking to be eaten... potatoes, beans, grains, some greens... you get the idea. www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-banana-peel#1
Thanks a lot million times beautiful beautiful beautiful blessings from Kenya please eat banana's with their skins you will never fall sick in your life we care try worldwide safety health be yours
Mind the sign: 'The struggle is real'. This is proof that stupidity is nurture. Scrape the banana peel. LOL! Especially women are kitchen stupid. When women cook, all meals taste like salty-union lemon-bouillon-garlic-saused taco's. Doesn't matter what the other ingredients they put in. Even if their dog does a shit in it. Mind the multi ingredient sause ! 'I like my taco meat a little bit wet! I bet she does! You don't tast the banana peels! Well you may didn't taste the 'dog shit' either. The most bothering thing is that they are proud of the result. Edward Bernays was a genius! Just ad an egg! An organic banana? LOL! Please Proctor, please make a sauce with all these ingredients so this women only has to ad a taco!
@@VeganAsFork Don't mind, just keep scraping banana peels and eat them! It's the escence of your life. To struggle is your destiny, but don't tell people this has anything to do with cooking. You are just piling up unrelated ingredients so it tastes like pile of unrelated ingredients. Organic banana peels? LOL!

Yes, I use it like a hand cream or to my dry skin areas in my body, it's awesome!

I have trIed to use the peel for my wound & l find that it was working well.
I use the internal part of the banana peels as a cream for my hands, elbows and knees or face. It's amazing! Don't throw them away!
Great tip! Thanks :)
Do you just rub it on like lotion or mix it with something?
Martha Kuntz Yes, directly in your skin. Everyone used to said nice comments about how smooth my skin was when my hands were touched, for example. The banana peel protected so well the fruit. ..makes sense, right?
Really ?? I'll try that
The bananas should be a bit greener, because it's less sweet and easer to use but the ripe ones will do OK as you said!
You can use plaintains, which are larger and firmer and usually green. If you peel and slice them in circles, they can be lightly browned in a frying pan with olive oil or coconut oil and served with eggs for breakfast or lunch.

Awesome! Zero waste!!💕
I eat a banana every day and just throw out the peel. This would be great. But... how was the digestion? Seems like some serious roughage.
Its not that tough I just tried it
@The Casino stop thinking I'm lying bc I eat it with no problems. Do you think I poop out an entire intact banana peel??

You know why I like bananas? Because there's no bones in bananas.
Don't use Banana and Bone/Boner in the same sentence.
@@sincsys Well, you know what I mean...
Already tried a Chick's recipe of pulled pork tacos with Oyster Mushrooms, now trying some tasty tacos out with Banana Peels! Uprated, thanks for sharing IRIE Lady and will try this recipe soon! :)
slice a potato and and it to an over salted dish reheat until potato is tender. sounds crazy but it works.
Wow, I really should try this sometime 🤤 I already made banana peel salad, "pulled pork" and I pickled them, but this looks very good, too!
I'm glad that there are so many recipes now, about how to use banana peels, as they seem to be pretty healthy as well :D
That's awesome! We need to try out more recipes with them. It's been a while since we last experimented. Thanks for the inspiration!
Vegan As Fork How was your digestive system after? Also, must we peel the inside of the peel? Ty
What an interesting idea! I bet it would be good cooking in an instant pot also.
Not a huge banana fan, but I often buy plantains... think I could use their peels?
Oh wow I should try this xD I eat banana peals raw and just make sure they are ripe enough and spotty :D
Who would have thought that banana peels could be used like this, I'm going to try it, thanks!
Hope you enjoy!!
most often the peels get soaked and or blached or precooked which makes the fiber a bit smoother and a bit "meatyer".
Great tip!
@@VeganAsFork my pleasure ^^

you guys are cool ! hello from Scotland !! stay safe n hope you're not too bored in the lockdown !!! :)
Hello to you & thanks so much for watching! We’re never bored here lol! Always something going on 😎

I cook with banana peals for a yr now.You can made so much cool food, pulled pork is the best one with banana and mushroom or jack fruit.
That's awesome!!
How long will the peels last in the fridge if I don't want to peel them all at once? Or, if freezing, will the freezer turn them mushy?
We're not really sure. Sorry!!
Is this safe for those of us with a latex allergy? I understand that banana peel has similar properties.
Good way to not waste food. First time hearing about using banana peels like this. Interesting.
If I try it with green bananas, what does one do with the meat of the green bananas?
Robin D. Phillips I make soup. They pretty much dissolve to make a nice thick broth.
Thanks! I’m going to try to make this one.
I saute them and put into curry dishes. I also saute them and then add them to pancakes with chopped nuts like pecan or walnut.

A good recipe but why did you scrape off the good part?
Very interesting, i've never tried this but will now!
Is there a video for your cheese sauce?
Hello from Germany, this is a great Idea! Thanks!
Hello hello! Let us know if you try it!
Apparently the skin is packed with more vitamin C than oranges.... that's what I heard on another channel.... I think it is worth a try!
Yeah that’s true - it’s a bonus but not sure if that’s enough to make me want to go through all the trouble of making it on a regular basis.
I think I'll try doing a really big bunch at once, freezing it after it's cleaned and prepped and chopped, and then use it to make a meatless sauce or meatballs or tacos as you did. It looks really good and my son loves vegan. I appreciate the video!
Scared of the whole pesticide thing. A lot of banana-peel-eating people have been saying that recently. Or recently I have been watching a lot of videos how to eat banana peels.
That’s why we try to only buy organic bananas
I only eat banana peels. I normally peel the banana, toss out the yucky inside part, and go straight for the skin.
@@lostinmyspace4910 aren't u special
Sharing on a friend's page. She had a link about banana peels. Spreading the VAF word.
Can we cook with mango peels
I don’t know - I’ve never tried but maybe?
I tend to eat some when I eat the fruit -- good question!
I've heard of ppl marinating them first
The majority of organic fertilisers & pesticides are not vegan, many contain animal blood & fish by product ;o
The plant doesn't pass animal blood etc on to you. The plant and its symbiotic fungi or bacteria break the animal products to their components like nitrogen and the plants absorb that. It is food for the plant.
Plants along with bacteria and fungi have always broken down dead animal bodies (and dead insects and birds and worms and other dead plants) that's where they get much of their nutrition that they can't get by photosynthesis)

I know this is late comment but I just saw this video clip today. I'm more curious if your husband ate it and what he thought of it?
Yes, he had some! He wasn't the biggest fan of it, but I'm curious what he would've thought if he tried it without knowing what it was.
I love it
When am cooking and the food is a little salty I add a little sugar to it
I love your cooking thanks
Thanks for the tip 👍
I chop mine up in a food processor
Yes you should, nuff said.
But what does it taste like?
The banana peels were really just a vehicle for the seasoning. They didn't have a super strong taste on their own.
That banana is ready for banana bread.
Wow! Never heard of this before. 💓💕💗
Lydia Kay this is more vegan think, I love it , I collect them in freezer and use when I need.
@@markizanochi65 Thanks I was going to ask that!
Thanks for the UK translation 😂
That cheese sauce looked bomb!
Thanks - haven't had any complaints lol ;)
Fantastic video, fascinating
Can you direct me to your nacho cheese sauce recipe?
Here is the original ua-cam.com/video/98Atrj9Bji0/v-deo.html there are a few more variations on this channel.
What do you do with all those bananas?

We use them in nice cream and banana bread We also have a really great banana layer cake recipe
Laya Saul Thanks. Similar to one I saw on TV recently.... frozen berries in processor with some yogurt and a small bit of honey..... better than ice cream IMHO
yea the recipes mentioned only work with ripe bananas... Id like some green banana recipes too
@@kennywesley me too. I read that greener bananas are better for you but... a ripe banana is dessert!! Let me know if you find something good.
