How do you justify bananas?

Bananas keep finding there way into my home and I don't know how to deal with them.

To expand, bananas keep finding their way into my house. I don't buy bananas when I grocery shop but sometimes my family does. Or an elderly neighbor can't finish a bunch so she brings them over. Or my sister brings them home from her work catering. I'm half convinced there is a banana-spawn point on our kitchen counter.

I l o a t h e food waste, and my family is generally bad at eating bananas because they prefer other produce. This results in very, almost over ripe, bananas on counter. I usually unpeel and freeze them in the lofty idea that someday Ill use them in a smoothie or faux ice cream or something.

So here I am with frozen bananas and still-appearing fresh bananas, with two questions.

  1. How do people justify bananas for their consumption? I don't want to get into all of my disordered gripes as to why I don't like them and potentially ruin someones safe food. I'd rather love to hear about the benefits people have from enjoying bananas. Vitamins, minerals, helped with restoring hair growth, saved their relationship, rescued a cat from a tree, idk whatever benefits you have found.

  2. How do people enjoy bananas? Whether it's a full recipe or just a list of things they've done with them, I'd love to hear how people work them into their lives.

Maybe this will help others with their unsafe view of bananas, or maybe bring another style of post to our sub where people can share how they enjoy good food that may be a fear to others. ☺️
