Banana Blossom

Banana blossom, also known as banana flower or banana heart, is the large purple-red flower that grows at the end of a bunch of bananas. Beneath its firm outer leaves are lighter, tender parts that are eaten as a vegetable and are particularly popular in Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine.

Banana blossom has a mild, slightly earthy, and subtly bitter flavor. Its tender yet fibrous texture absorbs spices, sauces, and marinades well, making it a versatile ingredient for many different dishes.

This banana blossom has already been prepared and preserved in a mild broth, making it convenient to use. Simply drain before adding it to curries, salads, soups, and stir-fries. Because of its fibrous texture, banana blossom is also increasingly used as a plant-based alternative in dishes traditionally prepared with fish or meat.

In Filipino cuisine, banana blossom is known as puso ng saging, literally meaning “heart of the banana”. It is used in a variety of savory dishes, including preparations with coconut milk, vegetables, and aromatic seasonings.
