On By Andy LaPointe / 0 comments
Five Things You Can Do with Banana Peels. Bananas are the top selling fruit in America and we as a nation eat a whopping 3.2 million pounds of bananas a year. According to Sustainable America this mean over 300 bananas are consumed every second somewhere in the United States. While this means a lot people are enjoying the natural health benefits of bananas like lowering blood pressure, improving your health and promoting digestive health. However, once the banana itself is consumes, many simply toss the banana peel in the trash. So I wanted to share some creative ways to reuse the peel of this tasty fruit.

Simply rub the banana peel on the rash area, after an insect bite and even to help relieve the itch of poison ivy.

It was the most unique and excellent combination of flavors. Here is a link to a recipe that is also tasty. Banana Vinaigrette Salad
