Bananas are our favorites. They are fragrant, sweet and nutritious. But did you know that the peel can also be used in a variety of ways? Here is a list of things you can do with a banana peel:

1. Polishing Fine Silver

Banana peels contain oils. Their formula can be used to brighten up dull silver items. It is a safe and natural way to clean silver. The recipe is simple: take a few banana peels and put them in plain water. Make a paste by using a blender. You’ll need a soft cloth to buff your silver bracelets and rings. The paste can be used for both jewelry and dish ware. After the job is done, rinse the leftovers off the items with warm water. 

2. Nourishing Flower Beds

Your flowers and plants will love this method. Banana peels are full of minerals and vitamins. Banana peels are rich in sulfur, magnesium and calcium that will revitalize your plants. Use banana peels to fertilize the soil in which you grow flowers and plants. Banana peels that are ‘planted’ around the base of bushes will nourish the soil and make your plants stronger.
