Cooking the Banana flower bud
I stumbled accross this web page and thought I'd share. It shows in detail how to make some Philipine dishes using the buds and male flowers. I'm going to have to give this a try! At Whole Foods they sell plantain buds which is what you need for cooking.

Re: Cooking the Banana flower bud
Not all banana cultivar blossoms are pleasant. Some have extremely high oxalic acid content. The plantain types have generally good blossom for cooking while the cavendish types are on the more challenging side to eat.
I have posted a recipe eons ago when this forum was still starting. |

Re: Cooking the Banana flower bud
Good timing Mitchell - I have a plantain-type bud about to become available and was wondering what to do with it.
Thanks Cassie |
