Chocolate covered banannas

Freeze the over ripe ones for pudding, breads, muffins, pancakes, and smoothies. Dehydrate what you can. Use the peels to shine up your leather shoes, banana oil is good for that except suede. Compost the waste. You can also freeze the fresh ones for smoothies. Fresh doesn't seem to have as strong as a flavor as over ripened to bake with. Fresh ones go great with bananas foster dessert. Also to cook like plantains. Fried bananas, dipped in corn dog like breading & deep fried. Wish you luck with

Well you could break out the rum and make banana daiquiris I had that happen to me one time I made chips out of mine

[naturekid13]

[TheEmpowered787]

How about donate them to food pantries?

[TNJNINTENDO]

I know I'm 2 years late but make smoothies

[wqp111]

Did you know that if the bananas ripen on the plant they tast even better, thats because thats when they start to pull the sugars from the plants, in fact thats true with all fruits I know it's true because I've done the test to tast it for myself. I live on an island were bananas are used in many dishes, you can boil them when they are still green and eat them with olive oil and some fish, like tuna or other types of fish you may like.

for those of you who want to grow bananas, the climate has to be from 70-80F for them to grow leaves, and 80-90 to flower. some places in the US are california, florida, hawaii, kansas, texas, and most southern states. Or if you were to grow indoor, it could be mostly anywhere.

[stardustdragon111]

Um I don't think there are anY in Michigan an it's almost winter time I got apple seeds some are sprouting all ready I got petunias seeds cactus plants an a orange seed hoping that it will germinate an a friend is Guna give me some snap dragon pod seeds an some golden delicous seeds so I can cross polinate an stuff :)

[stardustdragon111]

aw man do you get banana seeds from those cuz ive been looking all over cant fine any DX

[aLittleInsanityVideo]

@stardustdragon111 As far as I know, the banana stalks don't produce seeds... Instead, they produce a single pod of bananas and die - but not before 1-3 new baby stalks grow at the base of the mother plant (which ultimately gets chopped down). We've successfully dug up the baby stalks and transplanted them to another yard - so maybe you can find someone that has some they can share? You also need a tropical growing climate & lots of water. Hope that helps! God Bless! ~ Erika

[johnnytastetest]

Let me get this straight....a young woman is asking for advice on the INTERNET about what she should do with her BANANA harvest? She then says she'll "do it online" in a video afterwards if she finds the right suggestion?

@nkr1695 I wish you lived closer too - fresh bananas & banana chips are soooo yummy! Perhaps one day your travels will take you to Hawaii. :) God Bless You Too! :) ~ Erika

[TTTTTURTLE]

make banana ice cream...freeze banana process in food processor, magic bullet, or juicer till smooth. deliciuos and creamy!!

[aLittleInsanityVideo]

@TTTTTURTLE Thanks for the suggestion! Aside from giving over half away, we ended up making lots of smoothies, dehydrated banana, banana muffins/bread, raw ice creams, raw desserts, fresh juices, and even the old classic 'Peanut Butter and Banana' sandwiches. We also threw a 1 year old party for our son and had a 'Banana Split' theme! We're looking forward to our next batch coming in soon! Thanks for the comment... God Bless! ~ Erika

[Alina674]

HI Erika, I was wondering what state you are in, zone #, & what variety of bananas you are growing? I have a few starting up also. thanks for the video!

[aLittleInsanityVideo]

@Alina674 I'm in Hawaii. It's considered Zone 11 since we don't ever experience freezing temperatures. I'm not entirely sure what variety of Bananas we grow (since there are several hundred types), but I do know that it is a Chinese variety and is of a medium length. They are very sweet, and are much tastier than the typical store bought kind. We have a new pod just taking off and I can't wait for them to be done - we managed to consume the last batch in no time at all! :) God Bless! ~ Erika

[cuteflipskater]

you eat them all!

[liddleE1]

You should make banana bread, and banana muffins

[kastnmagic]

We take our ripe banana's, peel, cut into pieces and zip them up in a freezer bag. We use them for smoothies and other recipes when needed!!

[Yewtoobnube]

That is an absolutely awesome video! 400 bananas? WOW!

[soymilkduh]

why the hell did you buy so many bananas in the first place?

[aLittleInsanityVideo]

@soymilkduh Aloha! I didn't buy them... they grow wild in my back yard! :) Sometimes more than one pod will be ready at the same time and we can't give them away fast enough. We try to get creative, but you can only eat so many before they go bad. God Bless! ~ Erika

[soymilkduh]

@aLittleInsanityVideo hahaha thats awesome!! you should give them away to people who dont have very much money:)
