Understanding the Science Behind Juicy Tomatoes
To understand why banana peel tea works so well, it’s important to delve into what makes a tomato juicy. Tomatoes are composed largely of water, but their juiciness is also influenced by the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients efficiently. Potassium, a key nutrient found abundantly in banana peels, plays a crucial role in water regulation and nutrient transport within the plant. By providing a steady supply of potassium, banana peel tea helps the tomato plant maintain optimal hydration and nutrient uptake, resulting in plump, juicy fruits.
