How To Peel A Frozen Banana: Using Bananas From the Freezer


Got bananas going bad? No problem. Just freeze the bananas and use them in smoothies.
This video shows how to do it.
Thaw the banana for 5-10 minutes, then just cut off both ends of the banana and cut down the whole banana lengthwise. After that, just remove the peel half in one piece.
FatFree.com says the following about banana selection:

If you put a bright yellow fresh ripe banana in the freezer and try to peel it frozen, the skin will stick to it and will be a fight to the finish to get it off — it at all. I have found that placing prime candidates (already ripe or slightly over-ripe) in the freezer and letting them freeze until they are black (about a week), then using them when needed, works great.

Voila. Frozen bananas for use in smoothies.

    Well, that is rather fascinating. I started my web search for bananas simply because I wanted to come across a fantastic recipe for banana pie. Some how I came across your website. I am very glad I took the time to read your page. I learned a lot about bananas.

    Best thing to do with frozen bananas is make banana bread!! You save them up for the whole winter and then have one big baking day and then you have bread in your freezer instead of bananas!!
