Banana peels are best used fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a few days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
If you’re making a smoothie, the peel can be added directly to the blender. For cooked dishes or tea, it's better to boil or fry them first.
Variations:
For a sweet touch, add cinnamon and honey to your banana peel tea or fry the peel with a sprinkle of sugar.
If you like to experiment with savory dishes, try adding the peel to stir-fries, wraps, or even grilling it with other vegetables for a unique flavor.
