Freezing fruits/plant matter

Hi I’m thinking about trying out KNF at home but I don’t want to freeze all my bananas so I can harvest their peels. Could I freeze their peels to save them until I have enough to ferment them?

u really shouldn't be using anything frozen plant matter wise by freezing u will kill off microbes that u trying to gather freezing also breaks open the cell walls of the plant matter exposing things u r trying to avoid through the osmotic process any plant matter u ferment should be picked early in the morn wile the growth hormones r still active in the tips of the new growth along with all the microbes that r there from  over night b4 the sun comes up n runs em all off then the sugar draws out the water and hormones through the cell wall with osmotic pressure.....the best thing to do with your kitchen scraps is composting IMO the best style of composting kitchen scraps is a inoculated substrate compost or a "bokashi" compost great way to break down kitchen scraps of all kinds including meats cheeses n fats i keep a 5gal bucket in my kitchen screw on top fill it as i go it dont stink and i make my own substrate almost free of cost using KNF methods and it works amazing in FMC
