So...I heard it's actually good to eat them...thoughts?
-
I am not going to try this, but I heard the same thing
-
i dont know about eating them but the are really good for poison ivy --my children are very allergic and we use them to rub on it and it drys it up really good
-
Yuck. Rule of thumb, if it is bitter it is bad. I have no idea about peels though. I know they are good for composting.
-
interesting but do they actually taste good.
-
Green waste peels after eating the banana!
-
Never heard of eating the peels, Not sure they would taste good.
-
I never heard that you could eat them and I definitely wouldn't wanna try.
-
Hermit crabs like them. I am not sure I am willing to try it. I would certainly do it over worms or something like that ha!
-
I can't remember the source, but I have heard that there are beneficial properties to the inside of the peel. Never tried it but I put the chopped up peel around my rose bush. I also read that if you put the peel on your forehead, it will help your headache.
-
I saw on one of those click video things that banana peels whitened your teeth
Good to know if you ever go on a show like survivor & needed to keep your teeth clean, & they had a banana tree handy ;)
-
Eat whatever you want, there is no rule of thumb for eating anything, EVERYONE has different tastes, geez! 8)
-
I saw a banana peel was supposed to stop itching of insect bites, I wouldn't care to eat one though. If anyone does eat them (or plan to), it would probably be a good idea to make sure it's organic because regular banana peels are full of pesticides.
-
Banana peels are used for many different things, like feeding the pigs in some rural community and for itching.
-
love Banana's but i don't eat the peel,,,, i believe pigs eat them and and my neighbors kids feed small pieces to their hermit crabs lol I'll just stick to the Banana itself and send the peels next door :)
-
Not sure if I want to try eating a banana peel. I would think they would taste bitter.
-
I've just learned that there are so many uses for the banana peel however I don't think I'll try eating it. I will try it in my garden and maybe even on my forehead when I have a headache. Cool tips!
-
I would try to blend the banana peels. I would eat it only if the nutritious value is high. Maybe it is a good source of fiber.
-
I never heard of this but it doesn't sound like it taste too good
-
Really? I never heard anything like that. Maybe it real, but I will not try it :)
-
Eww that sounds nasty.
-
I've never heard that. Aren't they good to rub on your teeth to whiten them? Thought I heard something like that???
-
Not sure I would want to eat a banana peel! :-\
-
I am going to have to hear a lot more evidence before I eat the peels. Love the bananas though.
-
banana peels. i don't know, but i do know that in different countries they eat some weird stuff. but, eat what you like,go for it.
-
Don't know about eating them. Heard they're good for staghorn plants and compost. I'd rather keep it away from my mouth
-
Banana is good but don't want to try the peels.
-
Never tried it and never will. Doesn't sound too good.
-
Banana peels are a good source of magnesium, and if you boil the peels and strain and drink it, it helps with cough. cramps etc.
-
Banana is good for you, because it has potassium and vitamins.
-
I had some tamales made in banana peels instead of corn husk. They were pretty good but of course I didn't eat the peels. I'm not sure I would enjoy them any other way.
-
I love eating a banana every day, but the peel? Not for me!
-
I don't know man. It's just so weird to think that they are edible and good for you.
-
I am not going to eat the peel.
-
No, and don't think I will, are they good for something?
-
and just how would one "cook" a banana peel and make it taste good?????
-
No banana peels for me. If they're so good for you, someone will eventually put it in pill form.
-
Never tried it,never will seems like it well give me diarrhea just from eating it.
-
have never heard that. not sure I would want to even if it was healthy. I can't even stand the string things on them lol
-
I eat a banana every day but sorry can not eat the peel LOL just doesn't sound right to me :)
-
Who said it's good to eat banana peels? There is no way I would eat the peels. When you see things that you read or online, doesn't mean that it is true. For some people, it is hard for them to believe that who ever write articles etc may be mentally challenged.
-
No I will not be eating any banana peels. Tree bark probably has a lot of nutrients too but I'm not going to try to find out.
-
i never heard of eating banana peels at all
-
im not gonna eat them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
I never heard of this before, but I'm not surprise. The peels of some fruit (and vegetables) is where you'll find the most potent nutrients. Unfortunately they aren't edible because of chemical pesticides. You would have to by organic (which are expensive).
-
I heard that recently also but I am not trying it.
-
No I'm not going to try them, grouse :bad:
