Don’t throw away the banana skin: do this instead

Consuming fruit brings countless benefits to the body. According to the Spanish Heart Foundation, these are high in carbohydrates and provide a variety of vitamins (such as A, C, B1, B2, B6), 

There are several fruits whose peels we eat, such as apples and pears. However, for others, like watermelon, kiwi, bananas, oranges, and melon

A study published in ACS Food Science & Technology reveals that banana peels are rich in minerals, nutrients, and fiber.

 Since eating the peel raw may not be very appealing, the study proposes various ways to incorporate it into different recipes.

One suggested method is to add banana peel to homemade bread. By mixing it in a 10% ratio with wheat flour, you can create bread that is richer in proteins

 Another idea is to use it in making cookies or cakes. For these treats, the peel should first be dried and then ground into flour. A delicious twist.

Incorporating banana peels into recipes is also a strategy to reduce food waste, a prevalent issue in a number of countries.
