What Happens When You Put Cloves in a Banana?

Want to try something fun? Inserting cloves into a banana without peeling it allows the banana to absorb the subtle, aromatic flavor of the cloves. After a few hours, you can slice it up for an exotic addition to oatmeal, yogurt, or baked goods. It's a creative way to infuse natural flavor into your fruit.

How to Do It:
Take a ripe banana (or a few if you're feeling adventurous).

Gently press 4-5 whole cloves into the peel of the banana (space them evenly around the fruit).

Place the banana on your kitchen counter or fruit bowl.

Let the combination work its magic — your kitchen will smell great, and your banana will stay fresh longer!

This is a fantastic chemical-free trick to try, and it's so simple to implement. Plus, the slight infusion of flavor can add a fun twist to your usual fruit! Give it a go and enjoy the benefits!
