I'm glad you specify organic bananas. I remember watching blender demonstrations at the State Fair back in the 1970s and the man doing the demonstration said the only fruit or vegetable that you wouldn't want to eat the peel or add the peel to a Smoothie was the banana because it was sprayed so heavily to prevent tarantulas from being transported into the country. I also know that buying organic bananas is not normally necessary in terms of eating the banana itself because the peel protects the banana from pesticides and chemicals. But obviously if you're going to eat the peel itself you want to make sure it is chemical free.

Considering that pesticides and herbicides have adjuvants that poke holes in cells in order to usher the active ingredient into the organism, I would never intentionally eat a non-organic banana.

Organic farming also uses pesticides. Just non-synthetic ones. Which can be more dangerous (copper sulfate for example) and because they're often times less effective, they can even be used in higher amounts.

Great fun guys. I've made similar before but I didn't shred until it was cooked. I think that helped with the colour. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. But I also didn't make it again. And ... to be honest, if I recall, it gave us the farts. If I recall correctly. It's been awhile. I keep thinking maybe I'll try it again but this time in the Instant Pot but haven't yet. Cheers!

12:51 ''Questioning life choices that lead to this moment'' LOL

Gotta try this recipe

I found that shredding it finer and also cutting the lengths shorter gave a better texture. I also put the whole lot in the oven after frying and made it a little crispier. Recommend doing it this way if you're going to try this :)

I’m right there with you re: “likely not going to make this again.” I started making my own soymilk and was left with the pulp (okara). I found out it had some nutritional value in it and so I tried to find recipes to use it up. Then, when I actually saw just how little added nutritional value it had (in comparison to all the work it was causing me), I made peace with not cooking with it. In my world, if it’s not loaded with a bunch of protein and/or not crazy nutrient-dense, I’m leaving it out of my diet. Totally appreciate the novelty, but not congruent with my goals when it comes to food. Thanks Derek!

Wow I never would have thought of that

Very interesting, thank you. Might give it a try. We have been able to reuse our banana peels by stewing them in water a couple hours to make “banana tea”. We use it to water our plants and garden once a month or so. Really helps boom growth. Then the stewed peels go out to our pet chickens.

Thank you! Will definitely try this.

Another very nutritious component of a fruit is the avocado seeds ... boiling, peeling off the shells, chopping up the shelled seed, then boiling again to make a nutritious tea. Stinging nettle tea is extremely nutritious/medicinal too!! 😊

the peels will turn dark as it oxidizes really fast. one way of avoiding it is to wash the peels and soak them for just about a few mins in warm water with salt and lemon juice. That reduces the oxidization. try doing this treatment to a few peels and then immediately put them in a zip lock bag and freeze. with the small amount of salt and lemon juice on it it might be good to use after its thawed out.

I love your videos so much as does my husband. We both look foward to your Saturday video uploads 😄💪💪🍌🍌🍌
