We’ve already discusses, in many occasions, the benefits of eating a banana. Their rich potassium level among all other vitamins, plus easy for absorption, makes the banana a superfood among the fruits.
But, have you ever heard that a banana peel is also very useful? I myself, but it in compost for the plants, because it’s awesome food for plants as well. But, here are some of the benefits you could extract from the banana skin.
Banana skin removes splinters
The “foreign bodies” that sometimes invade our skin are called splinters. They are harmless and can be removed with a medical procedure which is not very painful, but, every visit to the doctor is kind of stressful.
Now, you can remove them at home! Take a fresh banana peel and put it on your skin where you have splinters. Hold it for about 15 minutes and the splinter should become visible enough to take it out with a tweezer.
