When we throw bananas we should never throw away a part as it could be worth a lot to our house. Here’s 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 throughout the year and are among the most popular and common, even if some of them have origins in places totally different from where we live.

Bananas: that’s why you should never throw it all 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.

Native to 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 medium ripe.

However, there are several types of bananas, including light blue bananas that, due to their ripeness, usually have a vanilla flavor but are almost impossible to find in Italy.

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

The secret that few know

The banana has also become very loved by the little ones after its popularity thanks to the characters of the Minions, the Minions of Despicable Me who have a sweet tooth for this fruit.

But not everyone knows that even though we only ingest 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 disseminated on the web that explain that once the banana has been peeled, the rigid part of the end that holds all the fruits must be kept rigid and left to dry.

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

What we will have is a set of banana fibers that will be very useful for our plants, since when placed in 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 acquiring water but also the intrinsic properties within the banana fibers that, in contact with water and soil, will give vigor to our plant.
