Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do frozen bananas lose nutrients?
A: Not significantly. Most nutrients, especially potassium and fiber, are retained during freezing.
Q: Can I freeze bananas with the peel on?
A: You can, but it’s not recommended. The peel turns black and becomes difficult to remove. It's better to peel before freezing.
Q: How do I know if a frozen banana has gone bad?
A: If it has an off smell, unusual color, or freezer burn, it’s best to discard it.
Q: Is blanching necessary?
A: Not required, but helpful if you’re trying to maintain texture and color for longer-term storage.
