Reply to comment by create360 in LPT: peeling a banana from the bottom rather than the top removes all the strings with the peel by bitofarambler

Dang, you are the first person this hasn't worked for. And I have told everybody I know at this point, haha.

The "bottom" is the part with the small brown patch, no stem. If you peel from that part, all of the strings stay attached to the peel when you peel it off.

If that doesn't work, best of luck in your cursed blursed life.

Ha. Maybe I’ll give it another try. I just tried it 3 weeks ago after remembering this ‘trick’

And thanks for clarifying which end is the bottom. :P

I’m the 2nd person it doesn’t work for. I still had strings when peeling from the bottom

If you think about it, the part you call the bottom is actually the top of the fruit. The side with the stem is the side attached to the plant, and as such, represents the bottom of the banana. We've just been looking at bananas wrong our entire lives.
