8. Tomato Patch Compost

Similar to a flower garden, banana peel compost is the ideal natural fertilizer for your very own tomato patch. The high content of minerals and vitamins present in the banana peel are what makes it so perfect for growing ripe, red tomatoes.

9. Shine Up Indoor Plants

Your indoor garden requires just as much love and care as your outdoor one, even though most indoor plants are lower in maintenance. But dusting them with a feather duster isn’t what you should be doing! Instead, wipe the leaves down with the inside of a banana peel for a natural shine.

10. Soften Meat

Nobody wants to serve or eat dry, unpleasant meat. One way you can ensure that your roasting meat stays nice, soft, and juicy is by covering it all over with some banana peel. This ensures that the moisture stays well contained inside.

11. Steam Rice

Have you heard of rice steamed inside a banana peel? If not, you’re seriously missing out! Of course, you’ll need to discard the peel before eating the rice, but it would have imparted a wonderful flavor and aroma into the rice by then.
