Yeah, it’s easy to discard if a little bananus bothers you. But I ain’t a’feared.
Also, I’m usually making smoothies so it’s not much of a concern.
Pro Tip: another advantage of peeling the gorilla-approved way is that you don’t have to separate them when peeling multiple. I usually eat a couple one-offs while the bunch is ripe and then, before the rest get brown and mushy, peel the rest to freeze for smoothies or banana bread or whatever. You can just peel several from the bananus side and save the step of separating them.
I worked in a restaurant that served Bananas Foster so that’s actually a pro tip. You may never have to quickly peel a whole bunch at once but cooks, busy parents, smoothie artisans, etc. frequently do.
How does this work with that nasty little stump at the bottom of the banana? (Which everybody knows is pure poison… TIL: AKA the ‘bananus’)
Easy to discard or no?
I slice it a bit above the bananus and when you peel it it comes right out. Easy peasy
Holy shit, “bananus,” I am crying from laughing right now. Phew, I needed that!
