"The Surprising Benefits of Using Banana Peel in Your Recipes"

A study has found that banana peels can be turned into flour and used as an ingredient in baked goods, providing a tasty and nutritious alternative to wheat-based products. The peel adds fiber, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidant compounds to the baked goods. While using too much banana peel flour can result in a harder texture, a balance can be achieved by using 7.5 percent banana peel flour. Additionally, banana peels can be used in other dishes such as curry and vegan bacon, reducing food waste and providing health benefits. Other fruit peels, like mango skin, have also been found to enhance flavor and antioxidant properties in baked goods.
