From Our Soil: Banana Blossom 🌺
You know the fruit, but did you know the flower can be used too?
Banana blossom, also known as banana heart, is the flower found at the end of a banana bunch. When properly prepared, it can be used in savoury dishes such as salads, curries, soups, stir-fries, and plant-based meals.
It is a reminder that local crops often hold more value than we realize. From the fruit to the flower, agriculture continues to offer opportunities for food innovation, value-added products, and greater appreciation for what we grow.
This entry in our "From Our Soil" series highlights the possibilities found in familiar crops and the farmers who help bring them to life.
