Bananas are relatively perishable. Even if you put them in the refrigerator, they will still turn black and rot within two or three days.
When they find that bananas have turned black, many people just throw them away. But in fact, rotten bananas also have great uses. Proper use of rotten bananas can actually save us a lot of money.
Today I will share with you the uses of rotten bananas, let's take a look.
1. Supplement nutrients to plantsThere are many components in bananas that are very beneficial to plants.
But putting bananas directly into the soil does not provide nutrients to the plants.
It must be fermented to dissolve the banana's nutrients in the water, and use the banana water to water the plants to supplement the plants' nutrients.
So we can cut the rotten bananas into smaller pieces with their skins on, and then put them in plastic bottles.
Then add an appropriate amount of water and sugar, place it in a cool and ventilated place, ferment for seven days, and then it can be used to irrigate plants.
When we add water, be sure not to add too much water, because more gas will be produced during the fermentation process.
This will cause the plastic bottle to swell. If there is too much water, it may cause the bottle to explode. Generally, half a bottle of water is enough.
After the bananas are fermented, we can directly irrigate the plants with the fermented water to prevent the plants from turning yellow and withering.
2. Clean oil stainsIn our kitchen, we are often exposed to oil fumes, so there is a lot of oil stains.
Although dish soap can remove these oil stains, regular use of dish soap will cause greater damage to our skin.
Therefore, we can use fermented banana water to clean oil stains. The fermented banana water is actually peel enzyme water, which has a very good cleaning effect.
Spray them on the area with oil stains, then wipe the oil stains with a rough rag, and the oil stains can be wiped out easily.
3. Wipe leather shoesNowadays, many people should have several pairs of leather shoes. After wearing the leather shoes for a long time, the surface will be dull and there will be some dust.
But leather shoes are not suitable for washing, and there is no shoe polish at home. What should I do?
At this time, we can remove the rotten banana pulp, leaving the banana peel, and use the banana peel to wipe leather shoes.
Banana peels contain pectin, which can quickly clean dirt from the surface of leather shoes and make the leather shoes more shiny.
4. Repel mosquitoesThe smell of banana peels is relatively strong, and many mosquitoes will not come near if they smell the smell of banana peels.
For example, aphids, ants, mosquitoes, etc. will flee directly once they detect the smell of banana peels.
Therefore, placing banana peels next to plants or windows can have a good insect repellent effect.
