What are banana flowers, and how is it used?
The banana blossom is the edible flower of a wild species of tropical and subtropical banana known scientifically as
Musa
acuminata
. It’s said to have originated in Malaysia, after which it spread to India and Myanmar .
Despite being a fruit, the banana flower is often cooked like a vegetable. For example, in Sri Lanka, it’s enjoyed in dishes like
vazhaipoo
(stir-fry) and
keselmuwa
(curry).
Banana flower can also be steeped as a tea and taken as a nutritional supplement.
Its taste is supposed to be pleasant, slightly sweet, and flowery, though the sap between the petals should be removed before cooking because it has a bitter flavor. Soaking the petals in lemon water may help reduce any lingering bitterness.
Like the fruit, the flower’s leaves are perishable and will turn brown or black when exposed to air. Therefore, you shouldn’t peel the outer layers until you’re ready to use them.
