2
I am going to show you two ways to peel banana

You will notice that, at least in my experience, most people in North America believe that the proper way to peel banana is from the top. This is how we see it in television.

Some people choose to peel it in this direction
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

Some people try to pull it in this direction which I find generally in effective
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5
You place your thumb here on the top
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
You hold it and then you pull back and here that juicy delicious crack
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
So you pull the top of the banana as I showed
.
Then you simply peel it down and you turn.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
You take another piece of the top here
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9
And you peel that down
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
If you find it that you are pulling too much at once,just hold that thumb there and pull that piece down
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
Pull down the banana over here
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
And you usually got 4 or sometimes 5 little star design other than banana
.
As you peel it , you will know have a very delicious and tasty banana.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
However, this is not how the experts peel the bananas
.
If you are wondering, experts are actually not the Americans, it is not an assets, not some massively government funded scientific study.

14
It is monkeys

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
Little tiny monkeys or big ones - depending on which part you are holding in
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
Now, they do not peel banana from the top as we humans do
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
Instead, they are going to the bottom here
.
So the next time you see someone peel up a banana from down here. You know you are dealing with bonafide banana-peeling experts.

18
Watch carefully and learn
.
The first thing you do is you take your thumb in your 4 fingers together and you pinch.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19
And that pinch allows you peel the little banana piece - that most of us do not want to
.
You see that little thing there at the bottom - pull that right out.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20
Then you just take your fingers and you hold down the banana
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21
Next, you take another section and you hold down the banana
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22
It is quite a bit like peeling an ice cream cone, which by the way we have a video on - how to peel properly an ice cream
.
You can watch that on our other series.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23
For now, we are going to focus on peeling this delicious banana and then taking a bite off it
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
24
Actually we saved on that for another video on how to eat bananas
.
This concludes our series or video on how to properly peel a banana.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
25
As a final word, if you ever get a mosquito bite, you can take a banana peel
.
This part right here is the fresh banana peel. Rub it around the mosquito bite. It is a natural remedy for mosquito bites, which is why you probably also never see a monkey itching from mosquito bites.
