I did not add the shoe tip because I have not tried it personally. I never give tips if I have not tried them.

We don't eat them so I don't buy them and the last thing I'd do with them is rub them on my teeth - that gives me the chills.

It works, you use the inside of the peel. My husband likes to have a banana on his waffle in the morning, I use the peels.

@AbbyGreenhill There is something weird with bananas, they are supposed to help with leg cramps, I get leg cramps if I eat bananas.

@LadyDuck I'll stick with toothpaste it doesn't make me sick, bananas do which is why I don't eat them.

Wow didn't know about the teeth use. I must remember this. Is it helpful to make monkey sounds if using in front of someone? Seriously, healthy alternatives are great. Thanks.

There is a reason for the theeth. The minerals in the peel (like potassium, magnesium and manganese) absorb into the teeth and whiten them.

@LadyDuck It helps some but not for crowns and false. I notice a difference on my regular teeth but not the crowns.

The banana peels are full of nutrients, I never throw them, I use to enrich the soil.

I have a list of banana peel uses on a Pinterest board, but just throw them away. I really should try a few of their uses.

Hello Anna, I never heard of banana peel for bites before. Actually I just toss them and have no silver to polish or splinters to remove.

@rebel_woman06 banana peel is a good replacement for carrots for lumpia, siomai, meat balls and giniling. Just mince it in small bits.

I throw the peels in the compost bin, because the banana peels are the best to enrich the soil.

I think to remember that Anne loves the roses, the banana peel near the roots of the roses are a good nutrient and keep the aphids away.

That's quite a few uses for banana peels. Mum used to put hers behind the staghorn fern so I guess that's a 'fertiliser' use.
