Teeth Whitener

Simply rub the inside of a still ripe banana peel on your teeth for about a minute before brushing. Repeat (with a new banana peel) each day for a week. Have your breakfast, and use it to whiten your teeth, too! This works because of the potassium found in bananas. The nutrients soak into your teeth and they become stronger and whiter!

Remove Moles, Warts, And Skin Tags

Since bananas are rich in dietary fibers, antioxidants, carotenoids, polyphenols, and phytochemicals, they are extremely effective at drying out moles and other skin issues. Cut out a square of banana peel and place the inside face down on the affected area. Cover with a bandage and leave overnight. Repeat as necessary until the area clears up!
