Eating beach bananas sounds like a great way to get some kind of weird illness. It's not like there's a nearby banana tree that they could have come from. But maybe I'm just too accustomed to grocery stores
I would just assume that through osmosis those bananas ate salty as fuck, plus I have seen the size of the fucking spiders on some of those bananas being shipped here, no fuck you
They addressed that, actually.
Im sure they come clean if you wash them vigorously by hand.
I assume the spiders would have died, and now you have delicious, brined cooking bananas!
Wonder what all that banana skin soaked up.
I don't want to eat the skin
You won’t have to, the edible part of the banana will absorb the skins content.
But it's got all the vitamins!

Definitely peel it first.
Would you eat a banana out of the toilet, as long as you peeled it first?
Yes, without hesitation, although I'd want to rinse it first to avoid cross-contamination.
Banana picking and shipping as it usually happens isn't exactly sterile, either. Or the grocery store where everyone is picking through them. This is also why you should wash anything you don't peel.
Weird, right? On the one hand - we dont eat banana peels. So, it must be fine, right? But on the other hand, I'd also hesitate to eat a snickers bar washed up on the shore.
I mean if you opened the package and it was dry tho?
