The utilization of banana peels can be used as flour which can be made in various processed cakes such as biscuits. The nutritional content of kepok banana peel flour per 100 grams of material is 69.8 g of water, 18.50 g of carbohydrates, 0.32 g of protein, 2.11 g of fat, 715 g of calcium, 117 mg of phosphorus, 1.6 mg of iron, vitamins B 0.12 mg, vitamin C 17.5 mg.
