Which seems to show they should be a good animal feed, I've never tried to
eat a banana and its peel but baana peel was the preferred titbit for our
dairy bull.

When pelleting & briquetting has been discussed here I've often wondered
id pressure cooking, draining under pressure and then flashing the
residue would be a means of quickly leaching out soluble salts.
Thanks for finding the info Alex, I eat a banana most days so will try and
save a few skins for experiment.
