Never throw away this part of the bananas: that’s why it’s worth gold in the house

When we throw away bananas we should never throw away a part as it could be worth a lot to our home. Here is which one.

Each season has its  fruits  and many times we only wait for one of these to be able to taste our favorites and savor the flavor of our favorite fruit par excellence.

But there are some fruits that can be found in the market all year round and are among the most popular and common, even if some of them have origins in places totally different from where we live.

Bananas: why you should never throw everything away

Some of these fruits that we Italians love are  bananas  , which are very useful for our health as a source of potassium and can often be used in any type of recipe.

Originally from  tropical areas,  it has been undermining the tables of our peninsula for many years and is almost never missing from homes to the point of having also been painted in some paintings that represent still lifes.

Often, due to its shape, it is associated with the male member and its name is used as a sexual allusion also following the song  La Banana  , which was very popular in the 2000s.

In the market we usually find yellow or green bananas depending on their ripeness, although it is always better, as experts advise, to consume those that are of medium ripeness.

However, there are several types of  bananas,  including light blue ones which, due to their ripening, often have a vanilla flavour but are almost impossible to find in  Italy.

On the other hand, in recent times in Italy it is possible to find red bananas that are much sweeter than the normal ones, although their cost is high and around three times more than the normal ones.

The secret that few know

The banana has also become very popular with children thanks to its popularity thanks to the  Minions characters,  the minions from  Despicable Me  who have a sweet tooth for this fruit.

But not everyone knows that even though we only eat the inside of the fruit and throw away the peel, we are actually wasting something really precious that we should all use at home.

In fact, videos are being posted on the web explaining that once the banana has been peeled, you must hold the rigid part at the end that holds all the fruit and let it dry.

However, before placing it in the sun, it is advisable to cut the stem and open it so that all the fibers can be seen, which are then removed and placed in a container exposed to the sun for a few hours.

What we will have is a set of  banana fibers  that will be very useful for our plants, since when placing them on the ground inside the pot they will act as an excellent fertilizer for our plants.

In this way, they will grow strong and vigorous not only by acquiring water but also the intrinsic properties within the banana fibers  that  , in contact with water and soil, will give vigor to our plant.
