Most primates eat bananas with the skin on, and I haven't been able to find any references to banana peel toxicity, so it is likely safe to eat!. I know that Kevin Spacey ate a number of bananas complete with the skin for K-PAX, and reported in an interview that he got a mild buzz that he attributed to high levels of potassium!.

Banana peels are also used as a folk remedy for mosquito bites, though you usually rub them on the bite, rather than ingesting them!.

The biggest risk from eating banana peels is probably related to the pesticides and fungicides often sprayed on them, but if you stick to organic, that's no big deal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well Glenn B, go right on ahead and eat all of the banana skins that you desire! I was on youtube watching how in certain countries they eat rats and male animals penises!. In fact they sell cow and lamb brains in certain ethnic stores, and let's not forget about chicken feet!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They don't taste that much of bananas and most importantly are stringy and not very sweet!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
