Amazing uses for banana peels

I hate to take food from goats, pigs and cows but I have to. PS, am not the kind of person who uses the whole goat after slaughter, including the voice and hooves, but I have to be that person when it comes to banana peels for the following reasons;

They whiten teeth

Are your teeth stained from drinking too much coffee? Or have they just lost their luster and shine? The potassium in banana peels helps in whitening teeth. For best results, choose a banana that looks just ripe which is when the potassium levels are highest.  Wash the banana thoroughly and wipe it before you peel it. Rub the inside of the banana on your teeth until they are completely coated in banana paste. Take time to rub it to make sure your teeth are well coated and leave it for about ten minutes. Brush your teeth with toothpaste and save money you could have used to whiten teeth.

Soothe skin irritations

Rubbing fresh banana peels on bug bites, stings and other skin irritations helps ease the pain and the irritation. The minerals, vitamins and fruit acids are super great for your skin too so go all out.

Remove warts

Tired of warts that won’t go away? Don’t worry, nature has your back. Just rub a piece of ripe banana on the warts every night before bed and watch them fade.

Add it to your juice blend

Banana peels are full of vitamins and minerals and adding them to your juice means boosting your vitamins and minerals intake. To do that, make sure you choose bananas with fresh looking skin and wash them well preferably with water that has some vinegar in it.

Polish your shoes and silverware

To do this, simply rub the banana peel on the shoes or the silverware the n rub with a soft cloth.

Treat acne and improve your complexion

Just like with all the above fixes, rub the inside of the banana peel to help improve the appearance of acne and to give your skin a glow.

Feed your flowers and plants

If all the above is not for you, you could always let your flowers and house plants soak in all the minerals and vitamins from the banana peels  but maybe shred the peels into small pieces to make it look good and intentional and not like you just littered your flower bed.

 lastly, if you are starving, and your neighbor wants to throw banana peels away, volunteer to help throw them for him/her then go to your house and eat them. They are totally edible so don't worry
