Banana Blossom

Banana blossom, also known as the "heart" of the banana plant, is a versatile ingredient rich in nutrients. Shaped like a real heart with layers of tender petals, it's famous for its subtle flavor, reminiscent of artichoke, with underlying notes of banana. Whether you've picked it up in its raw form, or can enjoy the convenience of canned banana blossom, try it in a variety of cuisines. Commonly used in salads, curries and stews, it adds texture and an interesting flavor note to dishes. You'll find it pairs excellently with fresh herbs and strong spices.
