How to prepare banana flowers quickly and simply. Recipes and instructions for cooking the most delicious dishes from banana flowers
Hello, I’m Charles, today I will answer the question “Banana flower how to eat?”
Banana flower is the flower part of the banana tree, it is located at the top of the banana tree. Before becoming a banana, the banana tree will bloom, and these banana flowers contain young bananas.
Banana flowers can be used for decoration or cooking in salads, soups, stir-fries, or served as raw vegetables…
Banana flowers cannot be eaten directly because they have a bitter and astringent taste. To eat it, it needs to be processed to remove the sap, and make it no longer bitter and astringent.
How to prepare banana flowers
Prepare a bowl of clean water just enough to mix in a little salt and vinegar. Next, cut the banana flower very thinly into slices and soak them in a basin of prepared water. It is necessary to do this operation because this will help keep the banana flowers white and crispy. If you skip this step, the banana flowers will turn dark and not crispy, making the dish less appealing. Take the banana flowers out when all the sap has gone out, then rinse with water and then put them on a rack to drain thoroughly. You can taste the banana flower fibers to see if they are bitter or not and see if they are dark. If they are dark, it is because you did not soak them enough time or added too little salt.
