Banana skins have high levels of dopamine

[johnt]

Has anyone looked into banana skins as a source of dopamine?

“Banana contained dopamine at high levels in both the peel and pulp. Dopamine levels ranged from 80−560 mg per 100 g in peel and 2.5−10 mg in pulp, even in ripened bananas ready to eat.”
