Banana Leaves
Banana Leaves are large, flexible leaves from the banana plant widely used across Southeast Asian, South Indian and Latin American cuisines as wrappers for steaming, grilling and serving food; they lend a subtle sweet, grassy aroma and keep foods moist during cooking. Nutritionally they are notable as a source of dietary fiber, providing 5g per 100g, and they also contribute micronutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin A and manganese when used in cooking. Because they are a low-calorie, plant-based wrapping that adds aroma without added fat or salt, they are a wholesome choice for steaming and grilling and work well as an alternative to single-use foil or plastic wraps.
