What would you do with hundreds of bananas? I have 6 more bunches still on the trees.

1. Banana bread, lots of it.

You can freeze banana bread.

[displacedvermoter]

2. Banana cream pies....

[C_U_L8R]

3. Banana Ice Cream

Just freeze em and whip em up.

4. Holy cow! You just redefined a bunch of bananas

Can you gift then to schools, homeless shelters, food pantries, or neighbors?

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Doubt it. Banana trees are everywhere and bananas extremely cheap. This is a single bunch that had to be cut

in two to fit in my banana cage. The cage is necessary to prevent critters from eating them. I frozen several dozen from an earlier bunch and now have loaves of frozen banana bread.

12. Wow! Nice they are everywhere & cheap

Maybe feed them to the critters?

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Yeah, the toucans and oropendlas like them. Raccoons and coatis as well. Monkeys won't come that close

to the house to get them.

[SheltieLover]

14. How did you get them down from the tree? They must weigh a ton!

[sinkingfeeling]

16. My 'gardener' cut them. Yes, they weigh alot. The center stem is about 4 inches in diameter.

[SheltieLover]

17. I was thinking cherry picker.

Nice gardner!

Thx for sharing.

[SheltieLover]

15. Maybe peel them & toss them out so they don't leave a mess?

What do the locals do with so many?

[snowybirdie]

5. Send it

To a food bank. They get so little fresh fruit

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I live in Costa Rica. Bananas are everywhere along the highways for free.

[justaprogressive]

6. Deliver it to a Food bank!

Starch (slow sugar) Potassium. a great foodstuff for the hungry!

[patphil]

7. I was thinking the same thing. A lot of people are in need right now.

10. Share!

Here in Hawaii we often have more from our trees than we can use. We share with our community.
Also--try banana nut pancakes for breakfast with maple syrup. One of my husband's favorites.

11. Smoothies

Gallons and gallons of smoothies

[fargone]

18. Load them on a truck...

...headed for Scranton, Pennsylvania

19. Banana lhassi

https://www.food.com/recipe/lhassi-indian-yoghurt-drink-22405

What India was drinking for centuries before 'smoothies' were a thing. As kids we made banana milkshakes from 1 banana, 1 egg (not really necessary), 1 T sugar, 1 t vanilla extract, 1 pt milk in a mixer or blender. Maybe you could up the count on the banana(s).

As someone suggested above, freeze any that get too old, then make "ice cream" from them. Add chocolate, strawberries, whatever you want. You can even use sour fruit, which would curdle milk but should be fine w/bananas.

20. I would try making...

As many dehydrated 'chips' as possible and also 'banana mash' and freeze that for other stuff, you can use it as a base for pancakes and such. You've already done the other things I could think of for bananas.

[in2herbs]

21. Donate them to a zoo or a chimpanzee rescue. nt

[Emile]

22. That would be worth a lot of money here in Indiana.

[surrealAmerican]

23. Well, at least it's less than 30,000 lbs.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

24. I have an Excalibur dehydrator...

… so I’d probably slice them and dry up a shit ton of banana chips—which can be rehydrated to use in lots of things besides snacking on the banana chips.

You’re so lucky to have them growing! I’ve got tons in our yard but we’re apparently missing a male tree because we get blooms and no fruit on any of them.
