Bananas contain loads of potassium; their peels carry rich levels of enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So don’t throw away the slippery peels the next time you eat the favorite food of monkeys. Use the peels for some Do-It-Yourself (DIY) home applications and save some money. The inside of a banana peel is its softer part because it’s glued to the pulpy fruit. When the fruit is ripe; the skin turns yellow. More so, its edible part becomes soft and sweet.

Insomnia is a life-threatening condition that can be triggered by depression and an underlying cause for many ailments. Boil banana peels (in clean water), and drink a teacup of the mixture at least twice a day. The juice is an antidepressant that helps to restore nighttime sleep.
