And, don’t FORGET to save those peels too! There are many uses and benefits with those slippery peels.

 

 

 

 

There’s nothing worse than a need to scratch. If you have a nasty bug bite, poison ivy or rash, rub the inside of the peel directly on the itch to soothe and heal.

 

Puffy eyes? Rub the peel to the affected area for about 5 minutes until the peel browns. Repeat the process 3x a day for clearer skin in just a few days, beauty gurus say.

 

Composting. Bananas help to break down quickly and infuse compost with nutrients which helps to make it richer by the time it’s ready to place on your garden.

 

Those pesky pests! Cut up banana slices and bury them one or two inches underneath the soil at the base near the affected plants.

 

Attract birds and butterflies. Setting out overripe bananas or peels on your yard will help polinate plants and promote biodiversity.
