Hold the banana stem-end down and gently pinch the tip of the peel to start peeling downwards towards the stem. This "upside-down" or "monkey method" provides an alternative to the conventional way of peeling from the flower-end and may be less strenuous on the wrist while still providing a handle to hold the banana.

The simplest and most effective way to peel a banana is by using the convenient "handle" on one end of the fruit. However, the peeler may find that this conventional method mashes up the top of the banana, and he may be looking for another method, either because peeling a banana this way hurts his wrist, or because he is just bored with it. Therefore, first, hold the banana with the stem pointing downwards; this has both been known as the upside-down or monkey method. If it's good enough for monkeys, it should be good enough for him without doubts. Second, pinch or push just at the tip to its typical yellow skin and make sure to do it gently. As regards the peeling itself, do it downwards towards the stem and that is all. The best part is he now has a handle to hold onto while enjoying his favorite fruit.
