I do like to save watermelon rinds and cook them into soup.

Anyone have a use for banana peels?

Yes, British TV chef Nigella Lawson cooks with them. https://youtu.be/kOF0Id92XRY?is=YOb6iPmPaMBeHLkJ

Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole. Neat.

We throw away a butt-ton of watermelon rind in the summer. I never thought to see if they could be used for something.

Now that is actually novel! To me, at least. You cook them into a regular soup as an additive? Or you make watermelon rind soup? How’s it taste?

It's a variant of a Chinese wintermelon soup like https://thewoksoflife.com/winter-melon-soup-pork-ribs/ ! It's a great sponge for the soup flavors.

Banana peel oleo saccharum... you can add it to drinks and cocktails for a punch of banana.

Throw them in with the banana in the blender
