Banana peels can ripen other fruits
Yesterday, Ms. Huang Ying, a resident of Donghai'an in Dashiba, called the newspaper's hotline to introduce the wonderful uses of banana peels to readers.
According to Huang Ying, before applying shoe polish, first wipe the shoes with a banana peel to remove stains from the surface. After wiping, apply the shoe polish, and the shoes will be shinier.
Banana peels also have a ripening effect. Some fruits, such as mangoes and kiwis, are not yet ripe when bought and need to be left for a period before they can be eaten. You can place banana peels together with these fruits that need ripening to accelerate the ripening process, and they will be ready to eat soon.
Regarding the wonderful uses of banana peels, Huang Xiao'an, an associate chief physician at the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that because banana peels contain musarin, they can treat skin itching caused by fungal and bacterial infections. Repeatedly rubbing fresh banana peels on itchy skin, or mashing them into a paste, or boiling them in water for washing, used for several consecutive days, has a very good effect. Mashing banana peels and adding ginger juice also has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. In addition, banana peels also have effects such as quenching thirst and moistening the lungs and intestines.
