Top 10 Uses for Banana Peels – Waste Not

Waste Not = Banana Peels

I also didn’t know that you could use banana peels to relieve itching and tenderize meat during cooking.

You can check out the full list- which was published earlier this month on our sister site, Eat Drink Better- below, and let us know if they missed any hot banana peel tips that you know about in the comments section at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
