Something Really Cool Happens When You Use Banana Peel as an Ingredient

Every time you peel a banana and dispose of the skin, you're throwing away a tasty, nutritious snack.

A recent study has shown if banana peels are blanched, dried, and ground into a flour, they can be turned into baked goods that taste just as nice, if not better than wheat-based products.
