Are there any recipes that use the peel of a banana ?

I've heard that it's actually very nutritious even though its bitter tasting by itself. I'd like to verify that ithe banana peel is edible without bad effect, and how it might be used in food preparation. I've heard that is can be used in polishing wood. But I'm not sure. Any food scientists or kitchen experimenters out there ? (FYI, There was once a french movie called ';Banana Peel'; . It was the name of a race horse.)Are there any recipes that use the peel of a banana ?
Actually you can steep banana peel in milk, half and half, and/or cream for ANY dessert. I've made a banana/dark chocolate ganache before, for a banana mousse encompassed in that ganache. But you can steep heavy cream with the banana peels and make a creme brulee, and so many other creamy desserts.


Try one of them, just heat the dairy product with the banana peel and let it sit there for a a half hour or so, and proceed with the rest of the recipe.


Good luck!!!Are there any recipes that use the peel of a banana ?
Yeah, nasty ones.
smoking it causes hallucinations apparently.
When making banana cream pie, you can put the peel in with the milk as you heat it. The peel gives a banana flavor to the cream, and it DOES NOT make it bitter!! Works really well!
