Description

Banana leaves are large, flexible, and waterproof. They impart an aroma to food that is cooked in or served on them, steaming with banana leaves imparts a subtle sweet flavor and aroma to the dish. Banana leaves are utlized in much the same way Americans use aluminium foil, the leaves are not themselves eaten and are discarded after the contents are consumed. Fish, vegetables, rice can all be gently steamed inside a banana leaf parcel.
