What are Banana blossoms?
Dark purple blossoms that form on the tip of a banana bunch. The blossoms are about a foot long. To use the tough outer leaves are removed and the more tender leaves are sliced and soaked in an acidic water to keep them from browning. The sliced leaves are used in salads or eaten as a vegetable. Many Asian cultures eat banana blossoms. Blossoms are available fresh (preferred) or canned in Asian grocery stores. (See read more for additional pictures and information)
