We generally don’t think of banana peels as wasted food because most of us don’t eat them. You can<\/a>, though… or you can put them to other uses. Our friends at Insteading<\/a> and Eat.Drink.Better<\/a> have both published the infographic below, but I thought it was well worth another post… if anything, to get people thinking even more about the potential uses for things we throw away without any thoughts. Take a look at Jo’s thoughts from Insteading, and share your own with us in the comments…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n One of the most important aspects of surviving and\u00a0thriving off the grid\u00a0or in a survival situation is making the most of all your available resources- even (especially?) the ones that you didn\u2019t even know were resources to begin with. Take, for example, banana peels.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure, if you\u2019re here, you already know that you can use nutrient-rich banana peels to feed the worms that\u00a0make composting tea\u00a0and to help fertilize your gardens. I was surprised, however, to learn that you could grind it into your\u00a0chicken\u00a0and\u00a0rabbit\u00a0feeds to boost your animals\u2019 vitamins. I also didn\u2019t know that you could use banana peels to relieve itching and tenderize meat during cooking.<\/p>\n You can check out the full list- which was published earlier this month on our sister site,\u00a0Eat 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.
