Originating in Malaysia, Southeast Asians were the first known people to cultivate bananas, cooking the blossoms into curries and coconut milk soups. Banana blossoms are harvested at about a foot long, then the tough outer leaves are removed and the tender inner core is kept in acidic water to prevent browning. Many cultures continue to eat fresh and canned banana blossom in soups, salads, or as a vegetable. The blossom contains a plethora of nutrients including heart-healthy potassium, vitamin A and C, magnesium, calcium, iron, and riboflavin. The banana blossom is best when cooked with added ingredients for optimal flavor and texture. Plus, this product can save you valuable space in your walk-in fridge since it can be stored at room temperature until opened. Allow your customers to experience the wonder of banana blossom by adding it to your menu!
