About Banana peel
Banana peels, the often-overlooked outer layer of bananas, are rich in nutrients and increasingly recognized for their culinary and health benefits. Originating from tropical and subtropical regions, banana peels are used in cuisines worldwide, often added to smoothies, baked goods, curries, or fried for a crispy snack. Nutritionally, they are packed with fiber, potassium, antioxidants, and vitamins B6 and B12, making them excellent for supporting heart health, digestion, and immunity. They contain compounds like serotonin and dopamine, which may help improve mood. However, banana peels can be tough and bitter, requiring proper preparation to make them palatable. Washing thoroughly to remove pesticides is essential if the peel is not from an organic source. As a sustainable option for reducing food waste, banana peels are gaining popularity as a versatile and eco-friendly ingredient in both home cooking and innovative recipes.
