Fruit wine: Add bananas for body?

[electricmonk]

Hi all,

I'm currently freezing 30kg of plums to do my first fruit mash. I hope to make a no-added-sugar traditional Slivovitz using wild yeast and I fully expect pathetically low yields and/or complete failure due to my mash being colonised by syphilis or COVID-19 or some other undesirable culture. That being said, I hope it works out! I also hope I can finish building my double boiler still before the fermentation completes.

I was wondering - I have a pile of black bananas in the freezer which I will never use for banana bread. I read somewhere that bananas often get added to thin fruit wines to add "body", whatever that means. Could I chuck a few jet black bananas into my wash without ill effect or is that a) irrelevant to mashing for distillation or b) disgusting and immoral?
