is it better to freeze bananas or dry them for later use?

when freezing them is it better to leave the skin on or remove it

Depends on what you plan to use them for.

majority of the time would be just to eat

other times would be for a smoothie or for baking

If you're just looking to be able to eat them your better strategy is to buy fewer ripe or more green bananas. Frozen bananas work quite nicely, when thawed, for banana breads, cakes and cookies or for smoothies.

I am not experienced in drying bananas so have no advice in that regard.

would be wise to remove the plastic prior

for some reason the 'green' ones do not seem to taste as good as the (store)ripe ones even after they are ripe(yellow)




can freeze a few and use them for a smoothie when the fresh ones run low in the house



someone mentioned banana chips as an alternative to buying bananas almost weekly

not sure if anyone has tried to make banana chips

I love eating banana chips covered with honey.
