If you love eating bananas or you like baking banana bread, you’ve probably noticed that they’re a bit tricky to peel.

TikToker @gladissahm shared a little-known way to do this, saying in her overlay text, “You definitely didn’t know this!”

Her dialogue-free video is also short and sweet. It starts with a shot at the banana section of the grocery store.

It looks like Gladis is going to peel the banana right there!

But then her shot switches to a birds-eye view of a hard surface background, presumably a countertop.

Gladis starts by flipping the banana to make it stem side-down.

The she squeezes the bottom tip of the banana, finds a seam and peels in the same place.

In just over a minute she has it fully peeled. “Now you know how to do it!” her caption reads.

Watch the full clip.
